cover meta-sugarbay: Change README build instructions to prefer tarballs

From: Tom Zanussi <[email protected]>

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:
Tom Zanussi (1):
meta-intel: fix BBFILE_COLLECTIONS overrides
