documentation/kernel-manual/kernel-how-to.xml: Updated build strategy 

This section used the term "tree construction" somewhat out of context.
The section really focuses on what the build process and the user does
prior to compilation.  I changed wording to indicate the tree is
validated to be sure that the SRC_URI point to the right stuff and
that the BSP build branch exists.

Once a local Git repository of the Linux Yocto kernel exists on a development system,
you can consider the compilation phase of kernel development - building a kernel image.

You can typically meet these prerequisites by running the tree construction/patching phase
of the build system.
