Fixes [YOCTO #4912]
Throughout the manual set, various areas talk about the Linux
distributions we support and the required packages among other
items that are tied to a distro. Debian had been missing except
from the list in the ref-manual that shows the releases we test
against.
I have attended to all areas where Debian needs to be mentioned
now.

Updated the wording to specifically point out that YP does
not support rolling releases or developmental releases due
to their constantly changing nature. I did not include wording
to indicate planned or unplanned type of futuristic support.

This bug's comments determined that the link from the
"Supported Distributions" section to the wiki page that shows
a list of tested distros be removed. The wiki page has been
updated to link into the section of manual and the wiki page
states that it is out of date. So, the manual should not point
back to that wiki page.

I added the URL for where this tarball will be located once we
release YP 1.5. Until we release, the URL will not resolve.

This is the main change to address this bug. It is a new section
that describes how the user can get a buildtools tarball if their
system does not meet the proper Git, tar, and Python versioning.

I have added a note after the list of supported Linux distros
that states there might be problems on a given distro when
using YP. I cited the CentOS 6.4 example for this 4519
bug.
