Hello, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request synchronizes the documentation with recent changes in TiDB related to session connection attributes. It ensures that users have up-to-date information regarding the Session_connect_attrs column in slow query logs, the configuration options for connection attribute size limits, and new status variables for monitoring attribute usage and truncation.

Highlights

Code Review

This pull request updates documentation to introduce and describe new features related to session connection attributes. It adds the Session_connect_attrs column to the information_schema.SLOW_QUERY table, documents the performance_schema_session_connect_attrs_size system variable for controlling attribute size limits and truncation, and introduces two new status variables (Performance_schema_session_connect_attrs_longest_seen and Performance_schema_session_connect_attrs_lost) for monitoring these attributes.

Note: Security Review has been skipped due to the limited scope of the PR.
