Add comment explaining that this table doesn't do what you
might think ... in fact doesn't do much of anything at the moment ...

* definition of the system "version" relation (pg_version)

+ * NOTE: this table has nothing to do with the overall Postgres system
+ * version or anything like that. It is for defining individual relations
+ * that have multiple concurrently-existing versions. Yes, there used to
+ * be such a feature in Postgres, but it's been broken for a long time
+ * (see src/backend/commands/_deadcode/version.c). The pg_version table
+ * isn't even created at present.
