scripts/setlocalversion: add more comments to -dirty flag detection

Browse source 
This script stumbled on the read-only source tree over again:

 - a2bb90a08c ("kbuild: fix delay in setlocalversion on readonly
   source")

 - cdf2bc632e ("scripts/setlocalversion on write-protected source
   tree")

 - 8ef14c2c41 ("Revert "scripts/setlocalversion: git: Make -dirty
   check more robust"")

 - ff64dd4857 ("scripts/setlocalversion: Improve -dirty check with
   git-status --no-optional-locks")

Add comments to clarify that this script should never ever try to write
to the source tree.

'git describe --dirty' might look as a simple solution for appending
the -dirty string, but we cannot use it because it creates the
.git/index.lock file.

# Check for uncommitted changes.

# You cannot use 'git describe --dirty' because it tries to

# First, with git-status, but --no-optional-locks is only

# it fails. Note that git-diff-index does not refresh the
