package/libsoil: add a comment about why we rename the Makefile
Commit 8461906d (package/libsoil: fix build using old versions of patch) added a workaround for older patch versions, but didn't add any comment in the .mk file explaining why this is done. Add a comment explaining why for clarity. Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard <peter@korsgaard.com>
