Remove obsolete nbtree insertion comment. Remove a Berkeley-era comment above _bt_insertonpg() that admonishes the reader to grok Lehman and Yao's paper before making any changes. This made a certain amount of sense back when _bt_insertonpg() was responsible for most of the things that are now spread across _bt_insertonpg(), _bt_findinsertloc(), _bt_insert_parent(), and _bt_split(), but it doesn't work like that anymore. I believe that this comment alludes to the need to "couple" or "crab" buffer locks as we ascend the tree as page splits cascade upwards. The nbtree README already explains this in detail, which seems sufficient. Besides, the changes to page splits made by commit 40dae7ec537 altered the exact details of how buffer locks are retained during splits; Lehman and Yao's original algorithm seems to release the lock on the left child page/buffer slightly earlier than _bt_insertonpg()/_bt_insert_parent() can.
