LOG: [llvm][docs] Add terminology note to Buildbot docs (#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
 buildbot-worker to private worker builder to LLVM Buildbot Infrastructure.
 
+.. note:: The term "buildmaster" is used in this document to refer to the
+  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>`_.
