BUGID#_1083 - documentation/poky-ref-manual/usingpoky.xml: -k option added

In the section 2.1.1 BitBake I added a paragraph at the end of the discussion
about BitBake explaining the benefits of the '-k' and '--continue' options.

So for example, before building <filename>matchbox-desktop</filename> BitBake
would build a cross compiler and glibc if they had not already been built.

A useful BitBake option to consider is the <filename>-k</filename> or
<filename>&dash;&dash;continue</filename> option.
This option instructs BitBake to try and continue processing the job as much
as possible even after encountering an error. When an error occurs the target that
failed and those that depend on it cannot be remade. However, when you use this
option other dependencies can still be processed.
