doc: clarify N-API version Matrix
I was asked by a community member if they needed to recompile for v12.x based on the version matrix. Add additional context to help ensure it is clear that this is not the case.

## N-API Version Matrix
+N-API versions are additive and versioned independantly from Node.js.
+Version 4 is an extension to version 3 in that it has all of the APIs
+from version 3 with some additions. This means that you
+do not need to recompile for new versions of Node.js which are
+listed as supporting a later version.
