documentation/yocto-project-qs/yocto-project-qs.xml: Scrub and edit
I did a scrub for the term "Yocto" and substituted appropriately. This resulted in the term "Yocto Project build system" going away and being replaced by "OpenEmbedded build system." The "Yocto Project build directory" was replaced by "build directory." I also found a few little things that were wrong like including the Debian distro in the list of supported distros so I removed that. Finally, a spell check produced a couple of fixes.
