Subject: dev-manual: Added new section on conserving disk space

For conserving disk space during builds, I added a new section
that tells how to add "rm_work" to your local.conf file.
This information was part of the original YP Quick Start
and was not carried forward into the new brief build
document.

(From yocto-docs rev: 719d70587d908390a134559472d57ce7fced6aae)
