documentation/poky-ref-manual/faq.xml: [BUGID# 628] - Added new question for Python 2.6 requirement.

As part of the fix for #628 I added a new question to the FAQ for use
of Poky when you do not have Python 2.6.

+                I only have Python 2.4 or 2.5 but BitBake requires Python 2.6.
+                Can I still use Poky?

+                You can use a stand-alone tarball to provide Python 2.6.
+                You can find pre-built 32 and 64-bit versions of Python 2.6 at the following locations:

+            </para>
+            <para>
+                These tarballs are self-contained with all required libraries and should work 
+                on most Linux systems.  
+                To use the tarballs extract them into the root 
+                directory and run the appropriate command:
+                <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ export PATH=/opt/poky/sysroots/i586-pokysdk-linux/usr/bin/:$PATH
+     $ export PATH=/opt/poky/sysroots/x86_64-pokysdk-linux/usr/bin/:$PATH
+                </literallayout>
+            </para>
+            <para>
+                Once you run the command, BitBake uses Python 2.6.
