[PATCH v2 3/8] Documentation: KUnit: add note about mrproper in start.rst

[Tales Aparecida <tales.aparecida@gmail.com>]

The "Getting Started" guide should be beginner-friendly, therefore
add a note about the requirement of a clean source tree when running
kunit_tool for the first time, and its related error.

+	You may see the following error:
+	"The source tree is not clean, please run 'make ARCH=um mrproper'"
+
+	This happens because internally kunit.py specifies ``.kunit``
+	(default option) as the build directory in the command ``make O=output/dir``
+	through the argument ``--build_dir``.  Hence, before starting an
+	out-of-tree build, the source tree must be clean.

+	There is also the same caveat mentioned in the "Build directory for
+	the kernel" section of the :doc:`admin-guide </admin-guide/README>`,
+	that is, its use, it must be used for all invocations of ``make``.
+	The good news is that it can indeed be solved by running
+	``make ARCH=um mrproper``, just be aware that this will delete the
+	current configuration and all generated files.
