dev-manual: Add a reference to poky-bleeding distro

Yocto-supplied poky-bleeding distribution.

Also cleaned up some wording and added a Caution statement
about the distro not being regularly tested - Scott

In fact, the Yocto Project provides a distribution named
<filename>poky-bleeding</filename>, whose configuration
file contains the line:
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
require conf/distro/include/poky-floating-revisions.inc
</literallayout>
This line pulls in the listed include file that contains
numerous lines of exactly that form:

These lines allow you to experiment with building a
distribution that tracks the latest development source
for numerous packages.
