[llvm] [llvm][docs] Add terminology note to Buildbot docs (PR #115856)

[David Spickett via llvm-commits]

https://github.com/DavidSpickett created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/115856

Choosing another term for this one document would only create confusion, and vendoring Buildbot to change it is a lot of work (as explained in the linked Buildbot issue).

 This document contains information about adding a build configuration and

+  server that manages which builds are run and where. Though we would not
+  normally choose to use "master" terminology, it is used in this document
+  because it is the term that the Buildbot package currently
+  `uses <https://github.com/buildbot/buildbot/issues/5382>`_.
