package: add comment about ipkg/opkg/rpm
Too often the question is raised, that ipkg, opkg and rpm do not work, and users complain they can not install packages. Even though we do have a clear and clearly explained section in our manual, people do not read it (when will users read manuals? sigh...). So, add a big fat comment about ipkg/opkg/rpm, that Buildroot does not generate binary packages and does not provide any package database for any of those package manager. Signed-off-by: "Yann E.
