dev-manual: Added notes about creating your own distro
Added a couple of notes to point out the ease of creating your own distro and not just relying on a Poky distribution. One note is at the very beginning of the manual and mentions Angstrom as an example of a distro based on the YP. The other note is at the beginning of the second chapter.
