yocto-project-qs: Altered MinnowBoard MAX example
Fixes [YOCTO #9667] The example that built the image out for the MinnowBoard MAX was buiding a core-image-minimal. This was not ideal. I have fixed it so that several types of images are suggested as examples with a reference to the Images chapter in the ref-manual. The actual command now builds out core-image-base.

692 Use the following command to build the minimal image for 692 The type of image you build depends on your goals.
693 For example, the previous build created a
694 <filename>core-image-sato</filename> image, which is an
695 image with Sato support.
696 It is possible to build many image types for the
