Hi,

This patch documents the N'...' national character string literal
syntax, which has been supported by PostgreSQL but was previously
undocumented.

The documentation explains:
- What the syntax is (N'hello')
- What the SQL standard specifies (implementation-defined national
character set)
- What PostgreSQL actually does (treats it as a cast to character type)
- Why it exists (compatibility with SQL migrated from other databases)

I verified the documentation builds without errors.
