documentation on HOT - Mailing list pgsql-docs

Hi,

While working on the 2020-02-10 release announcement, in order to better 
describe one of the fixes, I tried to find a reference in the docs that 
described what HOT is, how it works, etc. in a user-friendly manner.

This lead me to the acronyms page[1], which lead me to a document in the 
repo[2]. The closest thing I found was a blog post that Laurenz Albe 
wrote on the topic[3].

Given the importance of HOT, it seems like this would be a good topic to 
document. I would suggest something higher-level for general users in 
the "Indexes"[4] section, and something lower-level in internals[5] 
(which could perhaps be derived from [2]).

Thoughts on this?

Thanks,

Jonathan
