linux-yocto-custom: Clarify usage and clear COMPATIBLE_MACHINE
There has been some confusion over proper use of the linux-yocto-custom recipe. It is not intended to build as is from meta-skeleton. It should be modified via a bbappend file to provide a Linux kernel config at the very least. Update the commentary to make this requirement more explicit. Add some additional detail about how to create a bbappend file and how and when to modify the various variables. Clear COMPATIBLE_MACHINE so bitbake will not attempt to build the recipe unless the user explicitly adds there machine to the variable, which should encourage them to read the recipe comments before attempting to build it.
