additional ONLY docs

This patch improves the documentation of the UPDATE and ALTER TABLE
commands to elaborate on the effect of specifying an "ONLY" clause.

Unfortunately this is still only half the truth ... see the
SQL_INHERITANCE configuration variable.

SQL_INHERITANCE and inheritance behavior in prior releases.

Cheers,
