ref-manual: Updated TMPDIR description for NFS issues.
Fixes [YOCTO #5442] Updated the description to note that TMPDIR cannot be on NFS since it has issues that mess up the build process. (From yocto-docs rev: a2fa1c8a23ee7a26fa362e089d84747b4cb4618b) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark <scott.m.rifenbark@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>

7324 The filesystem used by <filename>TMPDIR</filename> must
7325 have standard filesystem semantics (i.e. mixed-case files
7326 are unique, POSIX file locking, and persistent inodes).
7327 Due to various issues with NFS and bugs in some
7328 implementations, NFS does not meet this minimum
7329 requirement.
7330 Consequently, <filename>TMPDIR</filename> cannot be on
7331 NFS.
