texlive - add note for editors re future size changes.

This was committed yesterday. As has been commented on the
tex-live list, this symplifies the scripts (no special casing

listing of the programs.

Location:

pst/typesetting

+That was done to simplify the process (windows has always used copy) and will likely
+make the installed sizes somewhat bigger.
+
+There is an option --no-copy for updmap.pl, unclear if that can be used here,
