dev-manual: Removed tarball method for installing meta-intel
Fixes [YOCTO #5368]
Partial fix for this issue, which is removal of the tarball install
methods for poky and now evidently meta-intel. This commit removed
the tarball install step for meta-intel in the "Supported Board
Support Packages (BSPs):" bullet item in the getting setup section.
