e228624011 Remove references to pgsql-ports and pgsql-patches mailing lists from

Point to pgsql-bugs and/or pgsql-hackers as appropriate.

a134ee3379 Update documentation on may/can/might:
Standard English uses "may", "can", and "might" in different ways:

        may - permission, "You may borrow my rake."

        can - ability, "I can lift that log."

        might - possibility, "It might rain today."

Unfortunately, in conversational English, their use is often mixed, as
in, "You may use this variable to do X", when in fact, "can" is a better
choice.  Similarly, "It may crash" is better stated, "It might crash".

Also update two error messages mentioned in the documenation to match.

0e2f88a6d5 We don't put URL's in ulink's because the URL is always generated, but
we can put words in ulink and the URL will still be printed.

cda1bd6cfe Various minor improvements to the SGML documentation: fix some incorrect

notes, untabify release.sgml and runtime.sgml, and make some other
minor improvements.

80ec228389 Refer to GUC variables using <xref> tags rather than <varname> tags,
where appropriate. Add "id" and "xreflabel" tags to the descriptions
of the GUC variables to facilitate this. Also make a few minor docs
cleanups.

2475e87481 Deprecate 'current' for date/time input.
Fix up references to "PostgreSQL" rather than "Postgres". Was roughly
 evenly split between the two before. ref/ files not yet done.
