brief-yoctoprojectqs: Added reviewer feedback

Softened the opening paragraph so it was not introducing any special
terms right off the bat.  Renamed the section on the hardware layer
to configuring the build for specific hardware.  Put in a link to
"build host" and used that term throughout.

             Welcome!
             This short document steps you through the process for a typical
             image build using the Yocto Project.
-            The document also introduces how to add a machine layer and a
-            general layer to your Yocto Project development environment.

             You will use Yocto Project to build a reference embedded OS
             called Poky.
