ref-manual: update buildpaths QA check documentation
The buildpaths QA check is now practically usable and enabled by
default, so update the comment and add a section with the warning
message since users may start seeing it in their builds.
(From yocto-docs rev: a14997e3b8576cd1a6e1c38d13b5b8e05ac03b88)

753 | - ``File <filename> in package <packagename> contains reference to TMPDIR [buildpaths]`` | ||
754 | |||
755 | This check ensures that build system paths (including :term:`TMPDIR`) do not | ||
756 | appear in output files, which not only leaks build system configuration into | ||
757 | the target, but also hinders binary reproducibility as the output will change | ||
758 | if the build system configuration changes. | ||
759 | |||
760 | Typically these paths will enter the output through some mechanism in the | ||
761 | configuration or compilation of the software being built by the recipe. To | ||
762 | resolve this issue you will need to determine how the detected path is | ||
763 | entering the output. Sometimes it may require adjusting scripts or code to | ||
764 | use a relative path rather than an absolute one, or to pick up the path from | ||
765 | runtime configuration or environment variables. | ||
