cheatsheet.md: Re-write QEMU invocation example
The commandline provided had several issues: * The -dtb option was redundant as we boot with the cuImage, and caused some kernel configuration to be skipped which in turn ended in a kernel panic * -append argument was redundant with respect to the devicetree * The file paths used typically required the user to change up out of the build directory after bitbaking obmc-phosphor-image The patch addresses all of the above.
