api-ref: add note about rebuild not replacing volume-backed root disk

Browse Source 
We've had several bugs about this over the years, and until we
actually decide to fix it (or not), we should point out the known
limitation that volume-backed root disks are not replaced during
a rebuild.

Like, if you have a volume-backed instance and rebuild with a new
image, the root disk is still the volume with the original image.
