contributor-guide: Note patch complexity requirements for stable branches

Browse Source 
Expand the existing note section under "Submitting Changes to Stable
Release Branches" to provide guidance on (not) submitting large or
complex changes.

Concerns around the increased size and complexity of patches being
submitted for the stable branches (mostly driven by complex
vulnerabilities found and/or fixed via LLM agents) were discussed with
the stable maintainer and the Yocto Project TSC. This patch reflects the
TSC decision that we should push back on these changes to preserve the
maintainability of our stable branches.

.. note::
Patches submitted for a stable branch need to be isolated changes that are
human readable and understandable. Fixes for CVEs or other issues which have
a high complexity, consist of a large number of commits and/or a large
numbers of changed lines are unlikely to be accepted due to the difficulty
they cause with maintainability and scalability.
Changes will not typically be accepted for branches which are marked as
End-Of-Life (EOL).
