documentation: Toolchain corrections from tarball to .sh file

For 1.3 there is not longer a toolchain tarball.  Instead, there
is a wrapper script that lets you install the tarball.  This
fundamental usage model change caused several ripples throughout
the documentation set.  I have changed wordings and examples
to reflect the new paradigm.
