ref-manual: Added warnings about using package_tar
This option to the PACKAGE_CLASSES variable is broken and not supported. I added several warnings saying such. We opted to keep the documentation rather than eliminating it completely to prevent questions should someone find the code and wonder why it is not documented. Reported-by: Robert P. J. Day <rpjday@crashcourse.ca> (From yocto-docs rev: 1acf3da2034c4c3f74acee1ccb375f0450ed90a0) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark <scott.m.rifenbark@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
