Improve documentation of EXTRACT(WEEK).

The docs showed that early-January dates can be considered part of the
previous year for week-counting purposes, but failed to say explicitly
that late-December dates can also be considered part of the next year.
Fix that, and add a cross-reference to the "isoyear" field.  Per bug
#7967 from Pawel Kobylak.

-        Because of this, it is possible for early January dates to be part of the
