Improve documentation's description of JOIN clauses.
In bug #12000, Andreas Kunert complained that the documentation was misleading in saying "FROM T1 CROSS JOIN T2 is equivalent to FROM T1, T2". That's correct as far as it goes, but the equivalence doesn't hold when you consider three or more tables, since JOIN binds more tightly than comma. I added a <note> to explain this, and ended up rearranging some of the existing text so that the note would make sense in context. In passing, rewrite the description of JOIN USING, which was unnecessarily vague, and hadn't been helped any by somebody's reliance on markup as a substitute for clear writing. (Mostly this involved reintroducing a concrete example that was unaccountably removed by commit 032f3b7e166cfa28.) Back-patch to all supported branches.
