[DOC] orm: document Query._join method

From having to work with it recently, it was not super clear what each
argument did (especially the link argument), and more documentation =
more betterer code

def join(self, lhs_alias, lhs_column, rhs_table, rhs_column, link, extra=None, extra_params=()):
""" Add an INNER JOIN to the current table (if necessary), and return
the alias corresponding to ``rhs_table``.
"""
Perform a join between a table already present in the current Query object and
another table.
:param str lhs_alias: alias of a table already defined in the current Query object.
:param str lhs_column: column of `lhs_alias` to be used for the join's ON condition.
:param str rhs_table: name of the table to join to `lhs_alias`.
:param str rhs_column: column of `rhs_alias` to be used for the join's ON condition.
:param str link: used to generate the alias for the joined table, this string should
represent the relationship (the link) between both tables.
:param str extra: an sql string of a predicate or series of predicates to append to the
join's ON condition, `lhs_alias` and `rhs_alias` can be injected if the string uses
the `lhs` and `rhs` variables with the `str.format` syntax. e.g.::
query.join(..., extra="{lhs}.name != {rhs}.name OR ...", ...)
:param tuple extra_params: a tuple of values to be interpolated into `extra`, this is
done by psycopg2.
Full example:
>>> rhs_alias = query.join(
... "res_users",
... "partner_id",
... "res_partner",
... "id",
... "partner_id", # partner_id is the "link" from res_users to res_partner
... "{lhs}.\"name\" != %s",
... ("Mitchell Admin",),
... )
>>> rhs_alias
res_users_res_partner__partner_id
From the example above, the resulting query would be something like::
SELECT ...
FROM "res_users" AS "res_users"
JOIN "res_partner" AS "res_users_res_partner__partner_id"
ON "res_users"."partner_id" = "res_users_res_partner__partner_id"."id"
AND "res_users"."name" != 'Mitchell Admin'
WHERE ...
