Reorganization of the packages section in the YP Quick Start.
These are now ordered still by distro but the listed packages
have been culled down to just the needed ones to run an
image on QEMU with graphical support.
A corresponding section in the reference manual now provides
the comprehensive list of packages for all supported distros.
The section in the reference manual is broken down by
distro and by function.
Finally, four new variables were introduced to track the
essential packages for each of the distros. The variables
are defined in poky.ent and follow the form
<distro>_HOST_PACKAGES_ESSENTIAL. This will make it so
we don't have to maintain this list of essential packages
in multiple places.
