adt-manual: Updated the build toolchain section with more detail.
Fixes [YOCTO #8368] Apparently there is confusion on how to build a cross-toolchain using Eclipse and the Yocto plug-in. Specifically on setting the MACHINE variable, the bblayers.conf stuff, and the preferences in Eclipse to find things. I added a couple key things to the section that describes using the OpenEmbedded build system to build out the toolchain.
