2021-03-26guide: Note that "make regen" will commit the new versionsgdt1-1/+2
It seemed obvious to me that regen would create the files, so they could be reviewed, and that one would then commit them manually. Warn the next person...
2021-03-26guide: Modernize MESSAGE sectiongdt1-5/+25
Based on tech-pkg traffic over the last few years that appears to have rough consensus, adjust MESSAGE section to explain that it should only be used for exceptional circumstances, and specifically not to substitute for documentation that belongs in the package's docdir.

First give an introduction, then continue in chronological order, from fetching over building to installing a package.

2020-06-02doc/guide: reword paragraph about patches applying cleanlyrillig1-7/+5
The previous wording was too easy to get wrong. Applying cleanly mainly means that the context lines are as expected. In most cases this is good enough. Having the exact line information would be nice as well, but if this were crucial, pkgtools/pkgdiff would need to fix this sitation. Since it doesn't and even states in a comment that it doesn't, the situation can't be that bad.

2020-05-22doc/guide: use the old http instead of the modern https for pkg_addrillig1-6/+11
