Note mutability of array and address access primops
Without an understanding of immutable vs. mutable memory, the index primop family have a potentially non-intuitive type signature: indexOffAddr :: Addr# -> Int# -> a readOffAddr :: Addr# -> Int# -> State# d -> (# State# d, a #) indexOffAddr# might seem like a free generality improvement, which it certainly is not! This change adds a brief note on mutability expectations for most index/read/write access primops.
