ref-manual: Added note about issues on supported distros 

Fixes YOCTO #4519

I have added a note after the list of supported Linux distros
that states there might be problems on a given distro when
using YP.  I cited the CentOS 6.4 example for this 4519
bug.

While the Yocto Project Team attempts to ensure all Yocto Project
releases are one hundred percent compatible with each officially
supported Linux distribution, instances might exist where you
encounter a problem while using the Yocto Project on a specific
distribution.
For example, the CentOS 6.4 distribution does not include the
Gtk+ 2.20.0 and PyGtk 2.21.0 (or higher) packages, which are
required to run
