obviously a process.

Doc: add glossary term for "auxiliary process"
Add entries for existing processes not documented, too, and adjust
existing definitions for consistency.

Peter Eisentraut 01ddd2f7e4 doc: Make terminology in glossary consistent
Use "reside in" rather than "belong to" for objects in a schema.
Previous use was a mix of the two.

Bruce Momjian 953c64e0f6 doc: add commas after 'i.e.' and 'e.g.'
This follows the American format,
https://jakubmarian.com/comma-after-i-e-and-e-g/. There is no intention
of requiring this format for future text, but making existing text
consistent every few years makes sense.
