[yocto] should yocto filename references start with a leading slash?

[Rifenbark, Scott M]

I searched through the YP doc set and removed as many leading slash characters that were being used in pathnames as possible.  There are a few "~" characters in some of the very specific examples that I left.  But for the most part, directory name usage is consistent now.
