Remove obsolete nbtree README commentary.
Commit d2086b08b02 removed almost all cases where nbtree must release a read buffer lock and acquire a write buffer lock instead, so remaining cases in which that's still necessary are not notable enough to appear in the nbtree README. More importantly, holding on to a buffer pin in cases where nbtree must trade a read lock for a write lock is very unlikely to save any I/O. This seems to have been a long overlooked throwback to a time when nbtree cared about write-ordering dependencies, and performed synchronous buffer writes. It hasn't worked that way in many years.
