Start-Job should mention the v6+ background operator #4965

PowerShell Core supports the background operator: postpositional & as a concise, Bash-inspired alternative to Start-Job calls; e.g.:

('hi' &) | Receive-Job -Wait -AutoRemove

is short for:

Start-Job { 'hi' } | Receive-Job -Wait -AutoRemove

To make the & syntax more discoverable, it should be mentioned in the Start-Job topic as well (it already is mentioned in about_Jobs).
