docs/alternator: list another unimplemented Alternator feature

A new feature was announced this week for Amazon DynamoDB, "multi-
attribute composite keys in global secondary indexes", which allows to
create GSIs with composite keys (multiple columns). This feature already
existed in CQL's materialized views, but didn't exist in DynamoDB until
now.

So this patch adds a paragraph to our docs/alternator/compatibility.md
mentioning that we don't support this DynamoDB feature yet.

See also issue #27182 which we opened to track this unimplemented
feature.
