[Buildroot] [PATCHv2 8/8] support/download/{bzr, cvs, git, svn}: highlight unimplemented source-check

From: Thomas De Schampheleire <thomas.de_schampheleire at nokia.com>

For bzr, cvs, git and svn, there is no method of checking whether the
revision exists remotely, without actually cloning the repository.
Therefore, there is no actual implementation for '-C' (checkonly) for these
download helpers. The script will fall back to the normal download logic,
which would effectively fail if the revision does not exist.

For completeness, mention this unimplemented feature in the usage text.
