adt-manual: Organized building a toolchain installer into a section.
An improvement to expose the method by which the user gets a toolchain installer. I placed this information in a section of its own rather than having it buried in a note. (From yocto-docs rev: a1c2bb48f47cee9ee8c5c079afbcf77a793ca791) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark <scott.m.rifenbark@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
