Doc: Further update documentation for asynchronous execution.

Add a note about asynchronous execution by postgres_fdw when applied to
Append nodes that contain synchronous subplan(s) as well.  Follow-up for
commit 27e1f1456.

+       Asynchronous execution is applied even when an
+       Append node contains subplan(s) executed
+       synchronously as well as subplan(s) executed asynchronously.
+       In such a case, if the asynchronous subplans are ones processed using
+       postgres_fdw, tuples from the asynchronous
+       subplans are not returned until after at least one synchronous subplan
+       returns all tuples, as that subplan is executed while the asynchronous
+       subplans are waiting for the results of asynchronous queries sent to
+       foreign servers.
+       This behavior might change in a future release.
