Clarify type resolution behavior for domain types.

The user documentation was vague and not entirely accurate about how
we treat domain inputs for ambiguous operators/functions. Clarify
that, and add an example and some commentary. Per a recent question
from Adam Mackler.

It's acted like this ever since we added domains, so back-patch
to all supported branches.
