Docs should mention that package sources don't make it into core metadata and are hence ignored by Pip #9934

Description

Poetry's package sources are ignored completely when installing a Poetry package using Pip instead of Poetry, whether normally or in editable mode. This must be so, because the core metadata specification used to specify a wheel's dependencies (including those of ephemeral wheels for editable installs) has no concept of specifying indexes as package sources.

As far as I can tell, the current docs on package sources (1, 2) don't mention this at all.
