[Developers] should we document that CCTK_MyProc(NULL) works?

It may also be of use in thorn code, though.
For example, I am currently using it for some debug code in
AEIThorns/AEILocalInterp (which is not passed a GH pointer), which
wants to generate a distinct file name for each processor so it can
log some debugging information.
