Update man page about piping with job control commands

Here's a proposed update to the man page to add a reference to the Command

A line is appended to each command description as follows:

Piping the output of "command" will not work as expected. See the Command
Substitution subsection for details.

Maybe this might make this little quirk clearer for the future.
