Updated the SRC_URI variable description to cross-reference
the "Fetchers" section in the BitBake User Manual and added
some more Fetcher URL parameters specific to certain fetchers.
This was done to help clarify how to put fetched code into
specific directories.
Also updated the bin_packages.bbclass description to have a
better example. Used a git:// fetcher example and provided
some specific URL parameters.

This was a complete re-write of the YP Quick Start in an attempt
to streamline it, remove unecessary detail, and make it flow better
with the examples. In doing so, many manuals were affected due to
section headings being renamed, information being moved, etc. Here
is a list of the changes by manual:
Makefile - Removed two figures from TARFILE list for the
yocto-project-qs.
Added building-an-image.png to the ref-manual TARFILE list.
Added using-a-pre-build-image.png to the adt-manual TARFILE
list.
Repositioned 'eclipse' in the adt-manual TARFILE list.
adt-manual: Fixed a cross-reference so that it goes to the new
'Building Images' section that is within the YP QS.
Added new section 'Example Using Pre-Build Binaries and
QEMU' to hold the information that was formerly in YP QS.
dev-manual: Removed a cross-reference into the YP QS that promised how
to configure the most efficent build.
Changed a cross-reference into the YP QS from 'The Packages'
to 'The Build System Packages'.
Changed a cross-reference into the YP QS from 'Building an
Image' to 'Building Images'.
Changed a text reference from the YP QS to the adt-manual.
Moved the bit about getting YP files by using the YP website
from the YP QS to the dev-manual.
Changed a cross-reference into the YP QS from 'Using Pre-Built
Binaries and QEMU' to 'Example Using Pre-built Binaries and
QEMU', which was moved to the adt-manual.
ref-manual: Changed a cross-reference into the YP QS from 'What You
Need and How You Get It' to 'Setting Up to Use the Yocto Project'.
Moved the note about if your system has oss4-dev in the
packages area in the YP QS to the appropriate area in the
ref-manual.
Moved the introduction information regarding building an image
along with the figure from YP QS to the ref-manual's section on
building images.
toaster-manual: Changed a cross-reference into the YP QS from 'What You
Need and How You Get It' to 'Setting Up to Use the Yocto
Project'.
yocto-project-qs: Complete rewrite that changed many section headings and
removed much detail, which was placed in other manuals.

we decided to create some mirrors and point the customization files

I added some more detail to these two variables. The system sets
them according to the perceived number of cores. These default
setting are cool for single socket systems. However, if you
have some big system with a lot of physical CPUs, you might want
to cap off the values at 20. This is according to Darren Hart.
I also put in some cross-references to the "Speeding Up the Build"
section.

locate information on how to write packages out to a directory
other than ${DEPLOY_DIR}/<package_type>, I updated the "Package
Feeds" section, added several new DEPLOY_DIR_* variables, updated
four classes, and updated four tasks. Here are some details:
* Made changes to the "Package Feeds" section to provide more

used by the build system in build/tmp. These changes included
updating the figure itself and some explanatory text.
* Updated the DEPLOY_DIR variable description.
* Added new variable descriptions for DEPLOY_DIR_DEB, DEPLOY_DIR_IPK,
DEPLOY_DIR_RPM, and DEPLOY_DIR_TAR.
* Updated the related classes: package_deb, package_ipk, package_rpm,
and package_tar.
* Updated the related tasks: do_package_write_deb, do_package_write_ipk,
do_package_write_rpm, and do_package_write_tar.

Apparently the "‐" ENTITY used throughout the YP manual set to
get literal "-" characters in example commands renders into a unicode
that is not a dash. This results in users getting errors if they
attempt to cut-and-paste a sample command that uses a "-" character
from the manual into a shell. I have universally replaced all the
"‐" strings in the YP manual set to "-" strings.

In the introduction, the ref-manual references several other YP
manuals. If the manual is build separately, these references resolve
to the appropriate manuals. When the mega-manual is built, the
same references are designed to not become links. In otherwords,
mega-manual.sed processes those links out. This is by design.
I found a #profile-manual tag on one of the links in the introduction.
This resulted in a link in the mega-manual that would go nowhere. I
removed the tag.
