dev-manual: Qualified the use of meta-intel in the BSP workflow
Fixes YOCTO #3663 I added wordings to indicate that meta-intel is not required to create a BSP layer. But, the example presented uses meta-intel. Reported-by: Robert P. J. Day <rpjday@crashcourse.ca> (From yocto-docs rev: 746948cd1d612f0b837e70a7e92e4081d379cb50) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark <scott.m.rifenbark@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
