manual/getting started: rework 'Getting Buildroot' section
This patch reworks the 'Getting Buildroot' section of the manual as follows:
- be more specific on the Buildroot release cycle
- refer to the download page of the website for details on snapshots and
git, instead of duplicating the information.
