archive: Clarify binaries produced by contrib and non-free source

A source package outside main cannot produce main binary packages, because
we want main to be self-contained: if you download all main source
packages, that should give you the source code of all main binary
packages.

A source package in contrib cannot produce non-free binary packages,
because by definition contrib only contains free software (with non-free
dependencies, but those are not part of the source code).

A source package in non-free cannot produce contrib binary packages,
because we want main + contrib to be self-contained: if you download
all main or contrib source packages, that should give you the source
code of all main and contrib binary packages.
