Link to wiki page if first git clone fails

Administrator requested to merge feature/git-better-error into master

This is known to fail on 3.16 kernels and below, because of the libressl version in Alpine edge. The wiki page recommends upgrading the kernel.

How to test

  • Either run pmbootstrap on Debian 8
  • Or:
    • Clone as usually
    • Install git, but delete the binary: pmbootstrap chroot --add=git -- rm /usr/bin/git
    • Remove or rename $work/cache_git/pmaports
    • Run pmbootstrap init, it should fail to use git from the chroot and print the message.
