Documentation: explain Oracle-compatible ROWNUM #1430

Description

@Z95-cmyk

Problem

IvorySQL implements Oracle-style ROWNUM, but the query and SELECT documentation does not explain assignment order, predicate behavior, common top-N mistakes, or current limitations.

Proposed change

Add a focused ROWNUM section with selection, pagination, DML, query-level scope, migration examples, and compatibility notes.

Acceptance criteria

  • Evaluation semantics and common counterexamples are documented.
  • Practical top-N and pagination patterns are included.
  • Current set-operation and lateral limitations are stated.
  • The complete SGML validation passes.
