documentation/dev-manual/dev-manual-start.xml: re-write of meta-intel
The section describing how to set up meta-intel has been re-written
to provide more information about this Git repository and why
it is important. Also, added information explaining why user
should use the same set up method (tarball or Git repo) as used
to set up the YP files tree.
