Subject: sdk-manual: Added note about nullpointer error for launch eclipse

Fixes [YOCTO #10714]

Apparently there is some issues with GTK3 libraries for the Mars
Eclipse version.  The note provides a workaround that requires
editing the eclipse.ini file.

(From yocto-docs rev: 89ace71c6d9d3a9db84bb9bb2b2abe4779a516f6)
