sys-apps/pciutils: mention why 2.37 check

It's to prevent catastrophies from people running with an older Binutils
in general, even if 2.35 is strictly enough (probably, not tried myself)
to build this package, given older binutils can cause all sorts of problems,
it should be considered a wake-up call for people running such an old one,
rather than just encouraging them to bump to the lowest possible version
which will work (< 2.37 is masked in Gentoo and has been for a while,
and we're not backporting any fixes for it.)

Bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/802036
