Tom Lane 213c0f2d78 Doc: improve description of trim() and related functions.
Per bug #14441 from Mark Pether, the documentation could be misread,
mainly because some of the examples failed to show what happens with
a multicharacter "characters to trim" string.  Also, while the text
description in most of these entries was fairly clear that the
"characters" argument is a set of characters not a substring to match,
some of them used variant wording that was a bit less clear.
trim() itself suffered from both deficiencies and was thus pretty
misinterpretable.

Also fix failure to explain which of LEADING/TRAILING/BOTH is the
default.
