Add warning about synaptic plasticity mechanisms and precise spike timing #2137

Spin-off from #1840. For now, synaptic plasticity mechanisms will continue to ignore precise spike timing, because changing this is a larger project that raises further questions (to be addressed in #2035). To prevent confusion in the mean time, this PR adds warnings about this behaviour to all synaptic plasticity models that are affected.

@clinssen looks good; Aside from a minor comment about wording, I noticed that the equations don't seem to render properly. The only thing looking a bit off is the lack of \\ at the end of the first line. Not sure if that will solve it.

F_-(t) &= \exp((t - t_j^(k))/\tau_-)

This makes it possible to implement update rules which approximate the
rule of [1]_, e.g. the rules given in [2]_ and [3]_.
