[PATCH] docs: remove image-mklibs references

[PATCH] docs: remove image-mklibs references

[Patrick Williams]

The image-mklibs bbclass was removed from OE-Core with
commit 908df863b419d1cad7317153101fc827e7e3a354 and
corresponding changes to local.conf.sample were made
in meta-yocto with c8c8f284eb2abe7e1352850a885454487cc01986.

Remove all references to image-mklibs from the documentation
as it is no longer supported.
