dev-manual: Added note about building out Autotools projects

Fixes [YOCTO #8261]

Errors are being generated to Eclipse users when building
an Autotools project.  I added a note with steps to avoid
the errors.

+                    When building "Yocto Project ADT Autotools" projects, the Eclipse
+                    IDE might display error messages for Functions/Symbols/Types
+                    that cannot be "resolved", even when the related include file
+                    is listed at the project navigator and when the project is
+                    able to build.
+                    For these cases only, it is recommended to add a new linked
+                    folder to the appropriate sysroot.
+                    Use these steps to add the linked folder:
+                    <orderedlist>
+                        <listitem><para>
+                            Select the project.

+                            <filename>File > New</filename> menu.

+                            In the "New Folder" Dialog, select "Link to alternate
+                            location (linked folder)".
+                            </para></listitem>

+                            Click "Browse" to navigate to the include folder inside
+                            the same sysroot location selected in the Yocto Project
+                            configuration preferences.
