documentation/dev-manual/dev-manual-start.xml: Added section for kernel files. 

In the section that shows how to get various groups of files needed for
using YP I added a bulleted item to show how to clone the linux yocto
kernel files.  this section will be referenced from the kernel example
flow section and the kernel example appendix.

(From yocto-docs rev: 4126d1456290d677ab8dc1d02d11aac6eb8add46)

You need a release of the Yocto Project.
You can get set up with local Yocto Project files one of two ways depending on whether you
are going to be contributing back into the Yocto Project source repository or not.

If you are going to be making modifications to a supported Linux Yocto kernel you
need a local copy of these files.
Creating a local Git repository of the files allows you access to the files locally
and gives you opportunity to contribute changes upstream to the Yocto Project.</para>
