bitbake-setup: clarify that default answer to prompts is no

From: Paul Gortmaker <paulg@kernel.org>

It is common practice to put the default choice in upper case for
yes/no interactive prompts, so that when people just hit enter, they
know what they are getting.  An example that linux users are probably
familiar with is "sensors-detect" from the "lm-sensors" package.

Unify all the prompts to be the same and indicate that the default
answer from hitting enter is a no with an upper case N.  No functional
changes.

Thanks, applied.

There was some discussion as to whether this should be Y/n (e.g. hit
Enter to proceed). I'd rather err on the cautious side here, as people
nowadays have muscle memory to agree and accept with anything and
everything, and proceed as quickly as possible, they would do it here
too, without reading what the tool is going to do, and only then
realize it's not what they wanted.
