Subject: pgsql: Document that WAIT FOR LSN is timeline-blind

Document that WAIT FOR LSN is timeline-blind
WAIT FOR LSN compares only the numeric LSN and has no notion of which
timeline a WAL record belongs to. There are many possible scenarios when
timeline-switching can break read-your-writes consistency. The proper
analysis and timeline support is possible in the next major release. Yet
just document the current behaviour.
