Clarify tree layout of local patches directory
Currently the help for LOCAL_PATCH_DIR did not specify the tree layout of custom patches directory. This commit adds such explanation. For example, the bundled patches for GCC are placed under packages/gcc/<gcc-version>, thus custom (local) GCC patches should be placed under $LOCAL_PATCH_DIR/gcc/<gcc-version>.

help
Enter the custom patch directory here.
- Note that you must ensure that the directory containing your custom
- patches is arranged the same way the official directory is.
+ Note that you must ensure that tree layout of the directory containing
+ your custom patches match the bundled patches one. For example, if you
+ have custom GCC patches for <gcc-version>, place them under
+ $LOCAL_PATCH_DIR/gcc/<gcc-version>.
