[PATCH 0/1] meta-sugarbay: Change README build instructions to prefer tarballs

[tom.zanussi]

From: Tom Zanussi <tom.zanussi@intel.com>

This changes the build instructions in the README for the Sugar Bay BSP
to use tarballs instead of git clones.

This fixes the issue reported for YOCTO 1103 at least as far as the README
in the BSP for the Sugar Bay goes.  The release notes on the Yocto website
would still need to be updated to reflect this as well.

The other meta-intel BSPs have the same README text - they'll be updated as
well with the same text, once it's clear no further changes are needed.

The following changes since commit f113449eb132df7c8a4c45ad8719ecc3ec84a6b5:

[PATCH 1/1] meta-sugarbay: Change build instructions in README to use BSP tarball

[tom.zanussi]

From: Tom Zanussi <tom.zanussi@intel.com>

Change the build instructions to use BSP tarballs instead of git
clones.  The git clone info remains as a mentioned alternative.

Fixes [YOCTO #1103].
