Doc: clarify description of degenerate NATURAL joins.
Claiming that NATURAL JOIN is equivalent to CROSS JOIN when there are
no common column names is only strictly correct if it's an inner join;
you can't say e.g. CROSS LEFT JOIN. Better to explain it as meaning
JOIN ON TRUE, instead. Per a suggestion from David Johnston.
