Document that index names are made up of all columns, not just the first.
index_name has been using the following expression
"index_#{table_name}_on_#{Array.wrap(options[:column]) * '_and_'}"
since at least 2006 (bc7f2315), and that's how they come out in my DB.
Please check that this is correct before merging into master, perhaps
I'm misunderstanding the section I changed.
