adt-manual: Updates to de-emphasize opt/poky and include sysroot
Fixes YOCTO #2645 Several changes to make sure that the default toolchain directory (opt/poky) is understood as the default. I changed some wordings to call it out as the default. Some examples I left alone as they used /opt/poky but I clearly indicated that the example was using the default installation directory. I also updated the note in the manual that talks about alternatively building the toolchain installer. Previously, it mentioned two methods. I have added the third and most significant method that uses bitbake image -c populate_sdk. This method creates a toolchain installer that contains the matching sysroot.
