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

+            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.
