[yocto] Documenting YP Development Environment in more detail - user configuration

[Rifenbark, Scott M]

Ok - I was told there was just a single version of oe-init-build-env.  So that must be not quite right.  What I will likely do is in the supporting text for the figure get into some detail on just where these pieces are.  That would be a good opportunity to maybe present some text around that.
