 doc: document ST_AsMVTGeom tile-coordinate simplification

 Clarify that ST_AsMVTGeom simplifies only within tile coordinate space by
 snapping to the integer grid, removing repeated points, and removing
 collinear points after transformation. Direct callers to run explicit map-
 coordinate simplification before tile conversion when they need broader
 detail reduction.

 Closes #6022
