[yocto] wiki entry on how to create own source download mirror

  just noticed someone refer to this "How do I" entry:

https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/How_do_I#Q:_How_create_my_own_source_download_mirror_.3F

i'm tempted to clarify that section in a couple ways unless there are
any objections.

  first, i don't think that section makes it clear that that technique
can also be used to just *use* a local source mirror if you already
happen to have a directory of tarballs lying around for some reason.
(that's how i came to use it -- several gigs of tarballs from earlier
days messing with OE.)

  also, unnecessary to do "complete build", i just do "bitbake -c
fetchall <image>".

  thoughts?
