Doc: improve documentation about composite-value usage.

Create a section specifically for the syntactic rules around whole-row
variable usage, such as expansion of "foo.*".  This was previously
documented only haphazardly, with some critical info buried in
unexpected places like xfunc-sql-composite-functions.  Per repeated
questions in different mailing lists.
