docs/doc-guide: Add footnote on Inkscape for better images in PDF documents
With kernel releases v5.18 and later, if you have Inkscape, images embedded in PDF documents are of vector graphics, not the raster images as are the case with pre-v5.18 releases. Even with pre-5.18 releases, having Inkscape would improve images converted from some of SVG files which are not fully covered by the limited capability of rsvg-convert(1) [1]. Add a footnote mentioning the expected improvements of such images.
