doc: Update the status of build directory not fully separated
Recently there are some people building GCC with srcdir == objdir and the attempts just failed [1]. So stop to say "it should work". OTOH objdir as a subdirectory of srcdir works: we've built GCC in LFS [2] and BLFS [3] this way for decades and this is confirmed during the review of a previous version of this patch [4]. [1]: https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-help/2023-November/143068.html [2]: https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/12.0/chapter08/gcc.html [3]: https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/12.0/general/gcc.html [4]: https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2023-November/638760.html gcc/ChangeLog: * doc/install.texi: Deem srcdir == objdir broken, but objdir as a subdirectory of srcdir fine.
