yocto-project-qs: Update to Linux Distribution Requirements
Fixes [YOCTO #4753] The section that tells the user the basic Linux requirement has been updated to mention the Git, tar, and Python minimum requirements. There is a new section in the reference manual's introduction area that describes how to create the buildtools tarball if these requirements are not met. The changes I made in the Quick Start now summarize the requirements and provide a link to that new section in the YP Reference Manual.
