docs/manual: mention checkpackageignore file

Browse Source 
Currently, the manual doesn't mention the checkpackageignore file at
all, leaving the user under the assumption that running "make
check-package" and running utils/check-package directly on the package
they have touched would be equivalent, when the former evaluates the
checkpackageignore file while the latter does not. This could cause them
to forget to remove stale entries from that file.

Point out this difference in behavior.
