[yocto] [PATCH] bsp-guide: replace meta-intel with meta-xilinx as container layer

[Scott Rifenbark]

The term "Container Layer" was put in the ref-manual by me to describe a
"meta-*" layer that had other "meta-*" layers (see
https://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.7/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#term-container-layer
and the term "Container Layer").  Maybe this was never a good term?  I
don't know.  Nobody has said anything about that term for many releases.

The problem Robert points out needs to be fixed in the BSP manual as
"meta-intel" is not longer qualifying by my definition.  I can fix that.

Is "Container Layer" ok as I have defined it?

Thanks,
Scott
