Describe each contrib module in its SGML section title
The original titles only had the module name, which is not very useful
when scanning the list.  By adding a very brief description to each
title, the table of contents becomes friendlier.

Also amend the introduction in the "additional modules" appendix, using
the word "Extension" more extensively.  Nowadays, almost all contrib
modules are extensions, so this is also helpful.

Tom Lane 78ee60ed84 Doc: add XML ID attributes to <sectN> and <varlistentry> tags.
This doesn't have any external effect at the moment, but it
will allow adding useful link-discoverability features later.

Andres Freund 2d10defa77 Remove timetravel extension.
The extension depended on old types which are about to be removed. As
the code additionally was pretty crufty and didn't provide much in the
way of functionality, removing the extension seems to be the best way
forward.  It's fairly trivial to write functionality in plpgsql that
more than covers what timetravel did.

Peter Eisentraut c29c578908 Don't use SGML empty tags
For DocBook XML compatibility, don't use SGML empty tags (</>) anymore,
replace by the full tag name.  Add a warning option to catch future
occurrences.

Tom Lane 53e99f57fc Make an editorial pass over the newly SGML-ified contrib documentation.
Fix lots of bad markup, bad English, bad explanations.

This commit covers only about half the contrib modules, but I grow weary...

Tom Lane 53ae7acbba Add SGML documentation for contrib/spi and contrib/test_parser.
The spi documentation is pretty rudimentary, but it's a start.
