    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.
