documentation/yocto-project-qs/yocto-project-qs.xml: Robert P. J. Day Review

As Reported By:  Robert P. J. Day.

Community member Robert P. J. Day scrubbed the Quick Start manual for Release
1.1.  He found several areas that were incorrect.  Many items were documented
pre-release and changed during the actual realeas.  Naming conventions for
images and such had to be changed.  Robert also found and suggested several
wording changes that resulted in clearer text.

I was not able to patch all the changes using the 'patch' command.  I need to
work out some process issues still in order to apply patches directly to the
yocto-docs repository.  Meanwhile, I hand-inserted the changes.  Also, some
text changes were modified slightly by me to conform to the books style, etc.

Kudos to Robert for such a detailed look at the YP Quick Start.
