Doc: back-patch documentation about limitations of CHECK constraints.
Back-patch commits 36d442a25 and 1f66c657f into all supported branches. I'd considered doing this when putting in the latter commit, but failed to pull the trigger. Now that we've had an actual field complaint about the lack of such docs, let's do it. Per bug #16158 from Piotr Jander. Original patches by Lætitia Avrot, Patrick Francelle, and me. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/16158-7ccf2f74b3d655db@postgresql.org
