spec: add a link to Allocation section in section on append built-in

If needed, the built-in function append allocates a new underlying
array. While we (probably) don't want to specify exactly how much
is allocated (the prose is deliberately vague), if there's more
space allocated than needed (cap > len after allocation), that
extra space is zeroed. Use an explicit link to the section on
Allocation which explicitly states that newly allocated memory
is zeroed.

Fixes #56684.
