dev-manual: Added notes about creating your own distro 

Added a couple of notes to point out the ease of creating your
own distro and not just relying on a Poky distribution.  One
note is at the very beginning of the manual and mentions
Angstrom as an example of a distro based on the YP.  The
other note is at the beginning of the second chapter.

Welcome to the Yocto Project Development Manual!
This manual gives you an idea of how to use the Yocto Project to develop embedded Linux
images and user-space applications to run on targeted devices.
Reading this manual gives you an overview of image, kernel, and user-space application development
using the Yocto Project.
Because much of the information in this manual is general, it contains many references to other
sources where you can find more detail.
For example, detailed information on Git, repositories and open source in general
can be found in many places.
Another example is how to get set up to use the Yocto Project, which our Yocto Project
Quick Start covers.

<note>
By default, using the Yocto Project creates a Poky distribution.
However, you can create your own distribution by providing key
<link linkend='metadata'>Metadata</link>.
A good example is Angstrom, which has had a distribution
based on the Yocto Project since its inception.
See the "<link linkend='creating-your-own-distribution'>Creating Your Own Distribution</link>"
section for more information.

While the Yocto Project does not provide a strict testing framework,
it does provide or generate for you artifacts that let you perform target-level and
emulated testing and debugging.
