[Docs] Add note about legacy PM to Ch4 of tutorial

Add a note about legacy FunctionPassManager to the LLVM tutorial.

It seems to confuse some people, worth adding a warning to the tutorial
to elaborate and suggest using `llvm::legacy::FunctionPassManager` for
now. Not a perfect solution but hopefully will avoid confusion
in the meantime.

 LLVM Optimization Passes
 ========================
 
+.. warning::
+
+   Due to the transition to the new PassManager infrastructure this tutorial
+   is based on ``llvm::legacy::FunctionPassManager`` which can be found in
+   `LegacyPassManager.h <http://llvm.org/doxygen/classllvm_1_1legacy_1_1FunctionPassManager.html>`_.
+   For the purpose of the this tutorial the above should be used until
+   the pass manager transition is complete.

 LLVM provides many optimization passes, which do many different sorts of
 things and have different tradeoffs. Unlike other systems, LLVM doesn't
 hold to the mistaken notion that one set of optimizations is right for
