yocto-project-qs: Updates to how to use local directories for source 

The section that describes an efficient way to set up the
build system to look in local areas for tarballs needed updated
so that PREMIRRORS was not the focus.  The example used does
not even employ PREMIRRORS.  So I changed wording to support
the example.  I also added a mention of the PREMIRRORS variable
and a linked reference to it for more information.

A good deal that goes into a Yocto Project build is simply downloading all of the source
tarballs.
Maybe you have been working with another build system (OpenEmbedded or Angstrom) for which
you've built up a sizable directory of source tarballs.
Or perhaps someone else has such a directory for which you have read access.
If so, you can save time by adding the <filename>PREMIRRORS</filename>
statement to your configuration file so that the build process checks
local directories first for existing tarballs before checking the
