Antonin Godard 1418534d22 SSTATE_MIRRORS/SOURCE_MIRROR_URL: add instructions for mirror authentication
[ YOCTO #15218 ]

There are different ways of configuring the build host when
authentication to a mirror (SSTATE_MIRRORS or SOURCE_MIRROR_URL) is
required.

Document these methods, and begin with the preferred approach which is
to edit ~/.netrc appropriately. When that is not possible, specifying
the credentials from the URL is also possible, so document it as well.
