commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=d01e808bfed8f76e084ec2899bd130a47fb020fa
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

Unlike <PKG>_DEPENDENCIES, <PKG>_PATCH_DEPENDENCIES only guarantees
extract and patch of listed dependencies, not build. Make this subtlety
more explicit in the documentation.
