documentation/dev-manual/dev-manual-start.xml: re-write of meta-intel 

The section describing how to set up meta-intel has been re-written
to provide more information about this Git repository and why
it is important.  Also, added information explaining why user
should use the same set up method (tarball or Git repo) as used
to set up the YP files tree.

You can get set up for BSP development one of two ways: tarball extraction or
with a local Git repository.
It is a good idea to use the same method used to set up the Yocto Project Files.
Regardless of the method you use, the Yocto Project uses the following BSP layer
naming scheme:
