doc: Give hint about gitian not able to download #12619

Gitian fails to perform downloads right now on my set up. This can be circumvented by first checking out the tag being built and then doing the depends download step before running gbuild.

This should of course be fixed in gitian, but having this note until it's fixed is definitely useful.

I'd merge these into one sentence "By default, Gitian will fetch source files as needed. To cache them ahead of time, make sure you have checked out the tag you want to build in bitcoin, then:"

This saves an extra bouncing-back step :) With the wrong tag checked out it will download the dependencies for the wrong release.

@laanwj I merged; I did keep the note somewhat intact though, as it would have saved me about a week of struggling (I think).
