adt-manual: Updated the build toolchain section with more detail.
Fixes [YOCTO #8368]
Apparently there is confusion on how to build a cross-toolchain
using Eclipse and the Yocto plug-in. Specifically on setting
the MACHINE variable, the bblayers.conf stuff, and the
preferences in Eclipse to find things. I added a couple key
things to the section that describes using the OpenEmbedded
build system to build out the toolchain.
