More documentation updates for LATERAL.
...
Extend xfunc.sgml's discussion of set-returning functions to show an
example of using LATERAL, and recommend that over putting SRFs in the
targetlist.
In passing, reword func.sgml's section on set-returning functions so
that it doesn't claim that the functions listed therein are all the
built-in set-returning functions. That hasn't been true for a long
time, and trying to make it so doesn't seem like it would be an
improvement. (Perhaps we should rename that section?)
Both per suggestions from Merlin Moncure.

Remove overly-pessimistic statement about constraint exclusion.
...
As of 9.2, constraint exclusion should work okay with prepared statements:
the planner will try custom plans with actual values of the parameters,
and observe that they are a lot cheaper than the generic plan, and thus
never fall back to using the generic plan. Noted by Tatsuhito Kasahara.

Fix erroneous documentation of synchronous_commit = remote_write.

The docs claimed that this mode only waits for the standby to receive WAL
data, but actually it waits for the data to be written out to the standby's
OS; which is a pretty significant difference because it removes the risk of
crash of the walreceiver process.
