Document the common API methods the `ExecutionStrategy` does (not) apply to

[mattbrooks2010]

The content on this topic is really useful. However, it doesn't clearly document the common API methods the ExecutionStrategy does — and does not — apply to.

For my purposes, I needed to know whether ExecuteSqlCommandAsync used the current ExecutionStrategy after seeing transient errors impact a web application health check.

Use case question: https://twitter.com/mattbrooks2010/status/1286063862370971648

Use case solution:

await context.Database.CreateExecutionStrategy().ExecuteAsync(async () =>
{
    // Check we can communicate successfully with the app database.
    await context.Database.ExecuteSqlCommandAsync("SELECT 1");
});

A colleague of mine did eventually find this existing API documentation: https://github.com/dotnet/efcore/blob/59734ea22f29d22f8d0c1673c59a99c54ec4e78d/src/EFCore.Relational/Extensions/RelationalDatabaseFacadeExtensions.cs#L120-L123
