x11-autologin: added a few notes

Looks like nodm doesn't reset the PATH set within
/etc/rc.d/init.d/functions which results in sbin
path components hitting user's PATH; livecd-install
which uses consolehelper was what broke first for me.

And this link should illustrate some of the problems
tackled by this kind of scripts...
