dev-manual: add a document to setup poky manually

2025-11-07T13:15:33+00:00

Add a new document describing how to setup the Poky reference distribution manually. This document is referenced in the Quick Guide, so that users that _know_ they want to setup Poky without bitbake-setup have a link to it. This document is also important to reflect the layout of the layers expected by the bblayers.conf.sample file, as explained in [1].

2025-09-16T11:09:41+00:00
