Expand comments and add an assertion in nodeModifyTable.c.

Most comments concern RELKIND_VIEW.  One addresses the ExecUpdate()
"tupleid" parameter.  A later commit will rely on these facts, but they
hold already.  Back-patch to v12 (all supported versions), the plan for
that commit.

Reviewed (in an earlier version) by Robert Haas.
