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.

4997878193 Doc: clarify that DROP ... CASCADE is recursive.
Apparently that's not obvious to everybody, so let's belabor the point.

In passing, document that DROP POLICY has CASCADE/RESTRICT options (which
it does, per gram.y) but they do nothing (I assume, anyway).  Also update
some long-obsolete commentary in gram.y.

bb4eefe7bf doc: Improve DocBook XML validity
DocBook XML is superficially compatible with DocBook SGML but has a
slightly stricter DTD that we have been violating in a few cases.
Although XSLT doesn't care whether the document is valid, the style
sheets don't necessarily process invalid documents correctly, so we need
to work toward fixing this.

This first commit moves the indexterms in refentry elements to an
allowed position.  It has no impact on the output.

6ef2448796 Fix a whitespace issue with the man pages
There is what may actually be a mistake in our markup.  The problem is
in a situation like

<para>
 <command>FOO</command> is ...

there is strictly speaking a line break before "FOO".  In the HTML
output, this does not appear to be a problem, but in the man page
output, this shows up, so you get double blank lines at odd places.

So far, we have attempted to work around this with an XSL hack, but
that causes other problems, such as creating run-ins in places like

<acronym>SQL</acronym> <command>COPY</command>

So fix the problem properly by removing the extra whitespace.  I only
fixed the problems that affect the man page output, not all the
places.

a612b17120 Assorted editing for collation documentation.
I made a pass over this to familiarize myself with the feature, and found
some things that could be improved.
