Bug 41786: Add comment to rbm.local.conf.example about tmp_dir definition

Warn about potential recursive loops in tmp_dir definition to avoid
issues such as rbm#40105.

 ### The tmp_dir option defines where temporary files are stored. The

 ### builds are made from this directory, so using a directory on a fast

 ### disk can improve build time. By default we are using a tmp directory

-### under the tor-browser-build directory.

+### under the tor-browser-build directory. Using templating in the

+### definition of this option is possible, however you should make sure

+### to avoid a recursive definition as the evaluation of some options

+### depend on tmp_dir (this is for example the case with the

+### `link_input_files` option). If you want to use an option that

+### depends on tmp_dir you may set a static value for tmp_dir in the

+### options argument to avoid a recursive loop, assuming that the actual

+### value of tmp_dir doesn't really matter for this option (you can use

+### for example `c("link_input_files", { tmp_dir => "/tmp" })`).

 #tmp_dir: /tmp

 ### The debug option defines whether a debugging shell should be opened
