Code Review

This pull request adds documentation for the cluster_id in the mysql.tidb table. My review focuses on improving the conciseness of the new description, in line with the documentation style guide's principle of avoiding unnecessary words and repetition. I've suggested a small change to make the text more streamlined.

* `tidb_server_version`: the version information of TiDB when it is initialized. Note that this value is read-only and cannot be modified.
* `system_tz`: the system time zone of TiDB.
* `new_collation_enabled`: whether TiDB has enabled the [new framework for collations](/character-set-and-collation.md#new-framework-for-collations). Note that this value is read-only and cannot be modified.
* `cluster_id`: the unique identifier of the TiDB cluster. Note that this value is read-only and cannot be modified.

To improve conciseness, this description can be rephrased. The phrase 'Note that' is generally considered filler, and 'read-only and cannot be modified' is redundant. This change aligns with the repository style guide's principle to avoid unnecessary words and repetition.

Suggested change
* `cluster_id`: the unique identifier of the TiDB cluster. Note that this value is read-only and cannot be modified.
* `cluster_id`: the unique identifier of the TiDB cluster, which is read-only.

For better readability and conciseness, I suggest rephrasing this to be a single descriptive phrase. This also removes the use of 'Note that', which is often considered filler.

This approach could also be applied to other items in this list that have a similar structure to improve overall consistency.

Suggested change
* `cluster_id`: the unique identifier of the TiDB cluster. Note that this value is read-only and cannot be modified.
* `cluster_id`: the unique identifier of the TiDB cluster, which is read-only and cannot be modified.
