docs(3p/lisp/mime4cl): add clear warning about current state

Browse source 
I'm not really describing what the problem here is because I don't
think a writeup is really useful. It would just be speculation and
I don't need to syncronize my efforts with anyone at the moment,
so it's best to keep those notes offline.

Basically, the next problem I want to tackle is that the initial
parsing of a multipart message (to get the number, types, offsets
etc. of the different parts) is very slow. This is because READ-LINE
on a FLEXI-STREAM dispatches to READ-CHAR which is laughably slow.
