dev-manual: Removed tarball method for installing meta-intel 

Fixes [YOCTO #5368]

Partial fix for this issue, which is removal of the tarball install
methods for poky and now evidently meta-intel.  This commit removed
the tarball install step for meta-intel in the "Supported Board
Support Packages (BSPs):" bullet item in the getting setup section.

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 that you used to set up the Source Directory.
Regardless of the method you use, the Yocto Project uses the following BSP layer
naming scheme:
