Peter Eisentraut b19495772e doc: Update uses of the word "procedure"
Historically, the term procedure was used as a synonym for function in
Postgres/PostgreSQL.  Now we have procedures as separate objects from
functions, so we need to clean up the documentation to not mix those
terms.

In particular, mentions of "trigger procedures" are changed to "trigger
functions", and access method "support procedures" are changed to
"support functions".  (The latter already used FUNCTION in the SQL
syntax anyway.)  Also, the terminology in the SPI chapter has been
cleaned up.

A few tests, examples, and code comments are also adjusted to be
consistent with documentation changes, but not everything.

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/.
