manual: patches are not applied for SITE_METHOD = local
We had several remarks on the mailing list of users that were surprised
that patches were not applied for packages whose SITE_METHOD is local.
So document this.
Note that for OVERRIDE_SRCDIR itself it is already documented:
When Buildroot finds that for a given package, an
<pkg>_OVERRIDE_SRCDIR has been defined, it will no longer attempt to
download, extract and patch the package. Instead, it will directly use
the source code available in in the specified directory.
