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...

3b3251cb95 Ensure that all <sect1> and <refentry> tags have IDs. This is needed 
to ensure that the resulting webpages have predictable URLs, instead of
ever-changing numeric IDs.  The new contrib docs were the biggest
offender, but some old stuff had the problem too.  Also, rename a couple
of new contrib sgml files for consistency's sake.

3f89964234 Add quote_literal(anyelement) to preserve (and, in fact, extend) a 
useful consequence of the former liberal implicit casting to text;
namely that you can feed non-string values to quote_literal() and get
unsurprising results.  Per discussion.

07daff63c5 Fix select_common_type() so that it can select a domain type, if all inputs 
to a UNION, CASE, or related construct are of the same domain type.  The
main part of this routine smashes domains to their base types, which seems
necessary because the logic involves TypeCategory() and IsPreferredType(),
neither of which work usefully on domains.  However, we can add a first
pass that just detects whether all the inputs are exactly the same type,
and if so accept that without question (so long as it's not UNKNOWN).
Per recent gripe from Dean Rasheed.

In passing, remove some tests for InvalidOid, which have clearly been dead
code for quite some time now, because getBaseType() would fail on that input.

Also, clarify the manual's not-very-precise description of the existing
algorithm's behavior.
