Update documentation to reflect usage of updated statistics
[SPARK-32095][SQL] Update documentation to reflect usage of updated statistics

### What changes were proposed in this pull request?
Update documentation to reflect changes in https://github.com/apache/spark/commit/faf220aad9051c224a630e678c54098861f6b482

I've changed the documentation to reflect updated statistics may be used to improve query plan.

### Why are the changes needed?
I believe the documentation is stale and misleading.

### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
Yes, this is a javadoc documentation fix.

### How was this patch tested?
Doc fix.

Closes #28925 from emkornfield/spark-32095.
