Fixes [YOCTO #10818]
There is a weird and intermittant error that can occur on any given
distribution that has a 4.3+ Linux kernel and a version 228+ systemd.
The error happens during an initial build of an image and indicates
that resources are unavailable. Investigation determines that
resources are available. The combination of the kernel and the
systemd in a distro is causing issues when a distro is upgraded.
yocto-project-qs:
I added a note in the two areas where the user is stepped through
the bitbake process to build an image. The note mentions the
possibility of the error, the host configuration situation, and a
couple work-arounds, which are to reboot the machine or to set the
"DefaultTaskMax" systemd parameter to "infinity".
ref-manual:
Added the same note in the "Building an Image" section.

This was a complete re-write of the YP Quick Start in an attempt
to streamline it, remove unecessary detail, and make it flow better
with the examples. In doing so, many manuals were affected due to
section headings being renamed, information being moved, etc. Here
is a list of the changes by manual:
Makefile - Removed two figures from TARFILE list for the
yocto-project-qs.
Added building-an-image.png to the ref-manual TARFILE list.
Added using-a-pre-build-image.png to the adt-manual TARFILE
list.
Repositioned 'eclipse' in the adt-manual TARFILE list.
adt-manual: Fixed a cross-reference so that it goes to the new
'Building Images' section that is within the YP QS.
Added new section 'Example Using Pre-Build Binaries and
QEMU' to hold the information that was formerly in YP QS.
dev-manual: Removed a cross-reference into the YP QS that promised how
to configure the most efficent build.
Changed a cross-reference into the YP QS from 'The Packages'
to 'The Build System Packages'.
Changed a cross-reference into the YP QS from 'Building an
Image' to 'Building Images'.
Changed a text reference from the YP QS to the adt-manual.
Moved the bit about getting YP files by using the YP website
from the YP QS to the dev-manual.
Changed a cross-reference into the YP QS from 'Using Pre-Built
Binaries and QEMU' to 'Example Using Pre-built Binaries and
QEMU', which was moved to the adt-manual.
ref-manual: Changed a cross-reference into the YP QS from 'What You
Need and How You Get It' to 'Setting Up to Use the Yocto Project'.
Moved the note about if your system has oss4-dev in the
packages area in the YP QS to the appropriate area in the
ref-manual.
Moved the introduction information regarding building an image
along with the figure from YP QS to the ref-manual's section on
building images.
toaster-manual: Changed a cross-reference into the YP QS from 'What You
Need and How You Get It' to 'Setting Up to Use the Yocto
Project'.
yocto-project-qs: Complete rewrite that changed many section headings and
removed much detail, which was placed in other manuals.

The "Speeding Up the Build" section presents a list of items the
user can consider when they want to tweak the build speed. One of
the items is the three variables BB_NUMBER_THREADS, BB_NUMBER_PARSE_THREADS,
and PARALLEL_MAKE. It was noted that the system figures out
the optimal settings for these now and it is pretty useless to
override the settings. However, the introducing sentence to the
list is still valid due to other considerations that go beyond these
three variables. So, to update the text, I have re-emphasized the
role of these three variables for quickening the build time.
