Add a comment at the top of the lock file that explains how it's generated #6496

Description

Problem description

The lock file is machine-build but should still be readable by humans. I think it would be useful to have a short comment at the top of the file that explains how the file is generated and when it's updated (new package releases/changes in the pixi.toml/pyproject.toml etc.).

I'm proposing this because I've had a few people come in and wonder what is that file and why does it add a bunch of changes to the diff. Basically, it's for devs/contributors that aren't deeply familiar with how the repo is structured and managed: they may make some change, and see this huge file that gets modified and don't know why it changed and how to deal with it.
