b8a4093b58 Fix broken link in installation.sgml.

standalone INSTALL document.

06310178ef 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.

5cad024524 psql: Reduce compatibility warning 
Only warn when connecting to a newer server, since connecting to older
servers works pretty well nowadays.  Also update the documentation a
little about current psql/server compatibility expectations.

35738b5906 Document how to prevent PostgreSQL itself from exhausting memory. 
The existing documentation in Linux Memory Overcommit seemed to
assume that PostgreSQL itself could never be the problem, or at
least it didn't tell you what to do about it.

Per discussion with Craig Ringer and Kevin Grittner.

8770328784 Add section IDs to subsections of syntax.sgml that lacked them. 
This is so that these sections will have stable HTML tags that one can
link to, rather than things like "AEN1902".  Perhaps we should mount a
campaign to do this everywhere, but I've found myself pointing at
syntax.sgml subsections often enough to be sure it's useful here.

6e2e12c947 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.

here.

932a271956 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.
