This fixes #6633.

Two minor changes to the astropy.coordinates documentation to (a) note which frame get_moon() (and get_body()) returns, and (b) clarify how .separation works on frame and skycoord instances.

I made some minor wording adjustments to make it clearer what "unexpected behavior" might be, but otherwise this looks good.

Oops I guess we should have left a note, but we were going to leave this open to see if @petigura found these clarifications useful!

@petigura: if this isn't any clearer, or you can think of more things to add, please just open another issue and we'll resolve. Thanks!
