Subject: [PATCH] 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.
