I received a private email report that our introductory MVCC
documentation is unclear about when a snapshot is taken. I have
adjusted the wording in the attached patch to be less precise about
snapshot timing. Snapshot timing is controlled by the session isolation
level, which I don't think we want to cover in this introductory
paragraph.
