Doc: call out UPDATE syntax change as a v10 compatibility issue.
The change made by commit 906bfcad7 means that if you're writing
a parenthesized column list in UPDATE ... SET, but that column list
is only one column, you now need to write ROW(expression) on the
righthand side, not just a parenthesized expression. This was an
intentional change for spec compatibility and potential future
expansion of the possibilities for the RHS, but I'd neglected to
document it as a compatibility issue, figuring that hardly anyone
would bother with parenthesized syntax for a single target column.
I was wrong, as shown by questions from Justin Pryzby, Adam Brusselback,
and others. Move the release note item into the compatibility section
and point out the behavior change for a single target column.
