Tom Lane 8f90381a20 Doc: mention CREATE+ATTACH PARTITION with CREATE TABLE...PARTITION OF.
Clarify that ATTACH/DETACH PARTITION can be used to perform partition
maintenance with less locking than straight CREATE TABLE/DROP TABLE.
This was already stated in some places, but not emphasized.

Back-patch to v14 where DETACH PARTITION CONCURRENTLY was added.
(We had lower lock levels for ATTACH PARTITION before that, but
this wording wouldn't apply.)

a little further wordsmithing by me

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download/

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
