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.

== Getting Buildroot
Buildroot releases are made approximately every 3 months. Direct Git
access and daily snapshots are also available, if you want more
bleeding edge.
Buildroot releases are made every 3 months, in February, May, August and
November. Release numbers are in the format YYYY.MM, so for example
2013.02, 2014.08.
Releases are available at http://buildroot.net/downloads/[].
The latest snapshot is always available at
http://buildroot.net/downloads/snapshots/buildroot-snapshot.tar.bz2[],
and previous snapshots are also available at
http://buildroot.net/downloads/snapshots/[].
To download Buildroot using Git, you can simply follow the rules
described on the "Accessing Git" page
(http://buildroot.net/git.html[]) of the Buildroot website
(http://buildroot.net[]). For the impatient, here's a quick recipe:
---------------------
$ git clone git://git.buildroot.net/buildroot
---------------------
Release tarballs are available at http://buildroot.org/downloads/[].
If you want to follow development, you can use the daily snapshots or
make a clone of the Git repository. Refer to the
http://buildroot.org/download[Download page] of the Buildroot website
for more details.
