Doc: rearrange high-level commentary about node support coverage.
copyfuncs.c and friends no longer seem like great places to put high-level remarks about what's covered and what isn't. Move that material to backend/nodes/README and other more-prominent places. Add back (versions of) some remarks that disappeared in 2be87f092. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/3843645.1657385930@sss.pgh.pa.us

* NOTES
- * Path nodes do not have any readfuncs support, because we never
- * have occasion to read them in. (There was once code here that
- * claimed to read them, but it was broken as well as unused.) We
- * never read executor state trees, either.
- *
* Parse location fields are written out by outfuncs.c, but only for
* debugging use. When reading a location field, we normally discard
* the stored value and set the location field to -1 (ie, "unknown").
* This is because nodes coming from a stored rule should not be thought
* to have a known location in the current query's text.
+ *
* However, if restore_location_fields is true, we do restore location
* fields from the string. This is currently intended only for use by the
* WRITE_READ_PARSE_PLAN_TREES test code, which doesn't want to cause
