Add some weasel wording about threaded usage of PGresults.
PGresults used to be read-only from the application's viewpoint, but now that we've exposed various functions that allow modification of a PGresult, that sweeping statement is no longer accurate. Noted by Dmitriy Igrishin.

+ <structname>PGresult</> objects are normally read-only after creation,
