* code the sysroot and compiler info instead of source the setup script

Previously, before building the linux examples with the imx yocto SDK in
the imxlinux_example.sh, the yocto SDK setup script is firstly executed
to export many shell envs to be used. This pollutes the matter
development shell env.

In this patch, code the sysroot and compiler info with only one shell
env named IMX_SDK_ROOT.

* description about building examples with python/shell script tools

Remove the description about how to build the examples with gn and ninja
commands, instead, describe how to build the examples with the tool
build_examples.py and imxlinux_example.sh.

After the Yocto SDK is installed on the host machine, an environment setup
script is also generated, and there are prompt lines telling the user to
source the script each time when using the SDK in a new shell, for example:
After the Yocto SDK is installed on the host machine, to use the SDK when
building the CHIP Linux Examples, export a shell environment variable named
`IMX_SDK_ROOT` to specify the path of the SDK, for example:

```
. /opt/fsl-imx-xwayland/5.10-hardknott/environment-setup-cortexa53-crypto-poky-linux
export IMX_SDK_ROOT=/opt/fsl-imx-xwayland/5.10-hardknott
```

- Build the example application:

Assuming that the working directory has been changed the CHIP Linux Examples
code, all the other steps are the same.
Building those examples with the Yocto SDK specified by the `IMX_SDK_ROOT`
has been integrated into the tool `build_examples.py` and the tool
`imxlinux_example.sh`. Choose one of them to build the examples.

Assuming that the working directory is changed to the top level directory of
this project.

The executable file is built under out/aarch64, it can be executed on the
**i.MX 8M Mini EVK** which running the Yocto image previously generated as
described in the sections above.
If the `build_examples.py` is used, the executable files are built in the
subdirectories under out/, the subdirectory name is the same as the argument
specified after the option `--target` when build the examples.

If the `imxlinux_example.sh` is used, the executable files are built in the
directory specified by the second parameter when build the examples.

The executable files can be executed on the **i.MX 8M Mini EVK** which
running the Yocto image previously generated as described in the sections
above.
