askforhelp: Add a note to stop people from spamming upstream

I've seen two cases of invalid upstream "bug" reports this month because
the user has (mis)built LFS.  Let's stop this before irritating the
upstream maintainers.

We strongly discourage posting your issues building one LFS package
directly onto the upstream support channel, without discussing via
a LFS support channel listed in <xref linkend="ch-intro-resources"/>
first. Doing so is often quite inefficient because the upstream
maintainers are rarely familiar with LFS building procedure. Even if
you've really hit an upstream issue, the LFS community can still help
to isolate the information wanted by the upstream maintainers and make
a proper report.

If you must ask a question directly via an upstream support channel,
you shall at least note that many upstream projects have the support
channels separated from the bug tracker. The <quote>bug</quote>
reports for asking questions are considered invalid and may annoy
upstream developers for these projects.
