doc: update SRCEXT/PKGEXT to reduce needlessly scary warnings
Currently this tells people that the settings should not be touched, but we should just rely on the description of what it should be set to, and leave it up to the user. With the previous patch, makepkg aborts if an invalid value is set, greatly reducing the danger of it being badly configured. Also make this clearer by indicating when it would be useful to change the settings -- i.e. disable compression -- and ensure their described defaults are based on the ones established during ./configure or meson setup.
