[Buildroot] [git commit] docs/manual: do not suggest to create a symlink for shared download directory

[Peter Korsgaard <jacmet@sunsite.dk>]

commit: http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=8850c522172acc6586c32a30f2dee79501293636
branch: http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

Creating a symbolic link for the download directory is really not a
useful suggestion, since we have the much better solution of the
BUILDROOT_DL_DIR environment variable. So emphasize this solution
instead, and remove the suggestion of the symbolic link.
