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

[Rifenbark, Scott M]

Everyone, 

Thanks for the discussion on user configuration.  It is good that ideas are being shared and more information is being revealed.  I am attaching the next revision of the user configuration figure.  I am moving on to the rest of the "left-side" of the inputs for the overall YP development figure that appears on the YP Quick Start.  That will deal with metadata (.bb and patches), layers, machine configurations, and distro configurations (policy settings).  

Feel free to comment on the user configuration stuff in this email.  

Thanks,
Scott
