Tom Lane 1f66c657f2 Doc: document that we expect CHECK constraint conditions to be immutable.
This restriction is implicit in the check-only-once implementation we use
for table and domain constraints, but it wasn't spelled out anywhere, nor
was there any advice about how to alter a constraint's behavior safely.
Improve that.

I was also dissatisfied with the documentation of ALTER DOMAIN VALIDATE
CONSTRAINT, which entirely failed to explain the use of that feature; and
thence decided that ALTER TABLE VALIDATE CONSTRAINT could be documented
better as well.

Perhaps we should back-patch this, along with the related commit 36d442a25,
but for now I refrained.
