ref-manual: Updated the FAQ entry for how to use an external toolchain.
We no longer have the external-sourcery.bb recipe. Had to rewrite this around it. (From yocto-docs rev: 4b0e3860216092461862d29b3a53a834f8dd43b2) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark <scott.m.rifenbark@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
