Improve the String tutorial docs (GH-4541) (GH-4545)
The paragraph that contains example of string literal concatenation was placed
after the section about concatenation using the '+' sign.
Moved the paragraph to the appropriate section.
(cherry picked from commit 78a5722ae950b80a4b3d13377957f3932195aef3)
