[PATCH] Make it clear that 'Hash: SHA1' does not specify the checksum hash

This should only be needed until the rel-eng adds some explanatory text
directly to the *-CHECKSUM files.  This is planned for F13 (by Oxf13 ;).

Thoughts?  Is 'warning' too strong?  I wasn't sure if 'note' would
stand out enough.  Perhaps I'm just grumpy after seeing so much
confusion about this. ;)

I'm also torn about the placement.  It might be better to move up to
the top of the page, above the "Windows user?" note.
