man/emerge.1: add clarification to -k and -K
Both -k and -K imply --with-bdeps=n. While this is already noted
under the documentation for --with-bdeps, a brief reminder under
the documentation for -k and -K is useful. A user interested in
binary packages might look under -k and -K first and miss the
default behavior with respect to build time dependencies.
