Add some notes about JS engine compatibility issues #5221

Closed nickva closed 3 weeks ago

After scanning a few clusters, it turns out most incompatibilities were between Spidermonkey 1.8.5 and Spidermonkey 91. For CouchDB train has left the station on that mostly, as we've already been shipped SM 60, 78 and 91 versions. However, there are still users which may be stuck on older CouchDB 1.x instances and are planning to update, so for their benefit add the few known issues to the docs.

Also, document a few differences between QuickJS and SM 91, as well as a description on how to try QuickJS out and how to run the scanner.
