yocto-project-qs and others: Rewrite of the QS

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.
