Paul Eggleton 333d571b36 image.bbclass, kernel.bbclass: create warning file about deleting deploydir files
New users sometimes delete files in tmp/deploy/images assuming they will
be re-created just by re-running the build, and then are confused when
this doesn't work. To discourage people from doing this, create a file
called README_-_DO_NOT_DELETE_FILES_IN_THIS_DIRECTORY.txt in
tmp/deploy/images containing an explanation of what needs to be done to
re-create files there.

Fixes [YOCTO #1315] and [YOCTO #1346].

Files in the deploy directory will not be re-created automatically if you
delete them. If you do delete a file, you will need to run:
bitbake -c clean TARGET
bitbake TARGET
where TARGET is the name of the appropriate package or target e.g.
"virtual/kernel" for the kernel, an image, etc.
