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.

59597e6485 Don't recommend "DROP SCHEMA information_schema CASCADE".
It drops objects outside information_schema that depend on objects
inside information_schema.  For example, it will drop a user-defined
view if the view query refers to information_schema.

9ed74fd463 doc: update markup for release note "release date" block
This has to be backpatched to all supported releases so release markup
added to HEAD and copied to back branches matches the existing markup.

85c11324ca Rename user-facing tools with "xlog" in the name to say "wal".
This means pg_receivexlog because pg_receivewal, pg_resetxlog
becomes pg_resetwal, and pg_xlogdump becomes pg_waldump.

39c3ca5161 Correct thinko in last-minute release note item.
The CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY bug can only be triggered by row updates,
not inserts, since the problem would arise from an update incorrectly
being made HOT.  Noted by Alvaro.

da6c4f6ca8 Refer to OS X as "macOS", except for the port name which is still "darwin".
We weren't terribly consistent about whether to call Apple's OS "OS X"
or "Mac OS X", and the former is probably confusing to people who aren't
Apple users.  Now that Apple has rebranded it "macOS", follow their lead
to establish a consistent naming pattern.  Also, avoid the use of the
ancient project name "Darwin", except as the port code name which does not
seem desirable to change.  (In short, this patch touches documentation and
comments, but no actual code.)

I didn't touch contrib/start-scripts/osx/, either.  I suspect those are
obsolete and due for a rewrite, anyway.

I dithered about whether to apply this edit to old release notes, but
those were responsible for quite a lot of the inconsistencies, so I ended
up changing them too.  Anyway, Apple's being ahistorical about this,
so why shouldn't we be?

a9ba6195f1 Fix ordering/categorization of some recently-added system views.
Somebody added pg_replication_origin, pg_replication_origin_status and
pg_replication_slots to catalogs.sgml without a whole lot of concern for
either alphabetical order or the difference between a table and a view.
Clean up the mess.

Back-patch to 9.5, not so much because this is critical as because if
I don't it will result in a cross-branch divergence in release-9.5.sgml,
which would be a maintenance hazard.

Also fill in the previously empty "major enhancements" list.  YMMV as to
which items should make the cut, but it's past time we had something more
than a placeholder here.

(I meant to get this done before beta2 was wrapped, but got distracted by
PDF build problems.  Better late than never.)

9042f58342 Rename PQsslAttributes() to PQsslAttributeNames(), and const-ify fully.
Per discussion, the original name was a bit misleading, and
PQsslAttributeNames() seems more apropos.  It's not quite too late to
change this in 9.5, so let's change it while we can.

Also, make sure that the pointer array is const, not only the pointed-to
strings.

Minor documentation wordsmithing while at it.

Lars Kanis, slight adjustments by me

a69b0b2c14 Code + docs review for unicode linestyle patch.
Fix some brain fade in commit a2dabf0e1d: erroneous variable names
in docs, rearrangements that made sentences less clear not more so,
undocumented and poorly-chosen-anyway API behaviors of subroutines,
bad grammar in error messages, copy-and-paste faults.

a93545e13f Remove xpath namespace-handling change from 9.5 release notes.
Although commit 79af9a1d2 was initially applied to HEAD only, we later
back-patched the change into all branches (commits 6bbf75192 et al).
So it's not a new behavior in 9.5 and should not be release-noted here.
