sdk-manual: Added note about building the image for QEMU use
Placed a note in step 4 of the "Workflow Using Eclipse(tm)" section that an alternative method to getting the target root filesystem and toolchain is to build them out. Referenced the wiki. (From yocto-docs rev: 60720be0fe0d29a0b695005bb40f5b0c25475b55) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark <srifenbark@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
