Fix nbtree deduplication README commentary.

Descriptions of some aspects of how deduplication works were unclear in
a couple of places.

 Deduplication in unique indexes

-Very often, the range of values that can be placed on a given leaf page in
-a unique index is fixed and permanent.  For example, a primary key on an
-identity column will usually only have page splits caused by the insertion
-of new logical rows within the rightmost leaf page.  If there is a split
-of a non-rightmost leaf page, then the split must have been triggered by
-inserts associated with an UPDATE of an existing logical row.  Splitting a
-leaf page purely to store multiple versions should be considered
-pathological, since it permanently degrades the index structure in order
-to absorb a temporary burst of duplicates.  Deduplication in unique
-indexes helps to prevent these pathological page splits.  Storing
-duplicates in a space efficient manner is not the goal, since in the long
-run there won't be any duplicates anyway.  Rather, we're buying time for
-standard garbage collection mechanisms to run before a page split is

 This approach avoids inventing an "eager" atomic posting split operation
 that splits the posting list without simultaneously finishing the insert
