[Toaster] Toaster documentation, 1.6 release

[Barros Pena, Belen]

Hi Scott, 

There is some more detail we need to add to the explanation about how to
delete builds from the Toaster database. This is Alex's explanation:

The buildslist and builddelete ​commands ​have some prerequisites in terms
of how they're invoked:

* in the default configuration, the current working directory needs ​to be
the 'build/' directory as to let the system find the "toaster.sqlite" file
in this directory

* in other database configuration, it may be possible to invoke from other
directories, provided that the toastermain/settings.py file is correctly
configured as to point to the correct database backend.

I recommend to always call manage.py from the "build/" directory.

Thanks!

Belén
