fncache: document the fact fncache is outdate at hook run time

Using 'addfinalize' to generate 'fncache' means that no pending version of the
file will be generated for the hooks. We would have to use the
'addfilegenerator' method to get such result. However the 'fncachevfs' (who
decide that a write is necessary) have no access to the transaction to register
such file generation at add time. Having the transaction accessible to the 'vfs'
is too much trouble for no benefit. This outdated 'fncache' file at hook time is
not expected to be an issue.

The previous move from 'onclose' to 'addfinalize' had no impact on this timing.
I'm documenting it now because I looked at it.

Create an empty repo:

  $ hg init a
  $ cd a

Try some commands:

  $ hg log
  $ hg grep wah
  [1]
  $ hg manifest
  $ hg verify
  checking changesets
  checking manifests
  crosschecking files in changesets and manifests
  checking files
  0 files, 0 changesets, 0 total revisions

Check the basic files created:

  $ ls .hg
  00changelog.i
  requires
  store

Should be empty:

  $ ls .hg/store

Poke at a clone:

  $ cd ..
  $ hg clone a b
  updating to branch default
  0 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ cd b
  $ hg verify
  checking changesets
  checking manifests
  crosschecking files in changesets and manifests
  checking files
  0 files, 0 changesets, 0 total revisions
  $ ls .hg
  00changelog.i
  hgrc
  requires
  store

Should be empty:

  $ ls .hg/store

  $ cd ..
