Subject: [PATCH] hwdb: drop boilerplate about match patterns being unstable

We've had this text since the beginning, but in fact the patterns must be
stable in order for people to create local hwdb entries. And we support that
and can't change the match patterns without being very careful. So let's just
drop the text.

(cherry picked from commit adbe000e3df5f91572bf4a77a2acd84ff5b87320)
