Richard Purdie b85957b011 local.conf.sample: Cleanup and improve

local.conf is the first thing anyone new to the project sees. Over time it
has built up a ton cruft and isn't even accurate in places.

This patch:

* Moves things to local.conf.sample.extended if a new user is unlikely
  to need to immediately care about the options
* Reorders the file to be more intuitive to a new user
* Moves certain default values to default-distrovars.inc in cases where
  most users wouldn't want to change the value
* Adds large blocks of text to explain what an option does. There have
  been too many cases of a user not realising what some of these
  settings do and how they can use them to their advantage (like DL_DIR
  for example).

README

Poky
====

Poky is an integration of various components to form a complete prepackaged
build system and development environment. It features support for building
customised embedded device style images. There are reference demo images
featuring a X11/Matchbox/GTK themed UI called Sato. The system supports
cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a
standalone toolchain and SDK with IDE integration.

Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports
is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added
in the form of layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way.

As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as 
BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation and various sources of information 
e.g. for the hardware support. Poky is in turn a component of the Yocto Project.

The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a 
reference manual which can be found at:
    http://yoctoproject.org/community/documentation
