docs: correct the guidance on vendored addon source URLs
The guide said these header comments are frequently stale and told the reader
to fix the header to match the image tag. That is backwards.
The header records which upstream revision the manifest body was derived from.
Bumping a vendored addon is supposed to mean re-deriving the body from the new
release and moving the header with it, so the two staying in agreement is the
invariant. When they disagree the manifest has drifted and may be missing
upstream changes that shipped with the newer image.
Editing the header to match the image would assert a re-derivation that never
happened and destroy the only record of what the body corresponds to. Say to
re-derive instead, and warn against the shortcut.
