Doc: document oddity related to identification of CRS from ESRI WKT
Or more generally formulations that don't have an explicit axis order.
Refs https://github.com/pyproj4/pyproj/issues/475
projinfo 'GEOGCS["GCS_WGS_1984",DATUM["D_WGS_1984",SPHEROID["WGS_1984",6378137.0,298.257223563]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0.0],UNIT["Degree",0.0174532925199433]]'
returns EPSG:4326 with 100% confidence.
But its axis order is not the same as EPSG:4326.
I've pondered about this, like decreasing the confidence of the match,
but this would have downstream effects on GDAL (shapefiles with the
above content in a .prj would no longer be identified as EPSG:4326).
So for now, document that oddity.
