kbuild: add comment about why cmd_shipped uses 'cat'
cmd_shipped uses 'cat' instead of 'cp' for copying a file. The reason is explained in the commit [1], but it was in the pre-git era. $ touch a $ chmod -w a $ cp a b $ cp a b cp: cannot create regular file 'b': Permission denied Add comments so that you can see the reason without looking into the history.
