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.
