doc: add a note about loading profile files

Browse Source 
If one is somewhat new to the command line or shell, it might be
surprising that changes applied to a file like $HOME/.profile will
seemingly not take effect, even if new shells are started.

Add a note about how shells usually only load these when the user logs
into a machine, to minimize the amount of people stuck and confused by
this.

Fixes #24756.
