documentation/dev-manual/dev-manual-start.xml: Added section for kernel files.
In the section that shows how to get various groups of files needed for using YP I added a bulleted item to show how to clone the linux yocto kernel files. this section will be referenced from the kernel example flow section and the kernel example appendix.
