Peter Geoghegan fe97c61c87 Update nbtree LP_DEAD item deletion comments.
Comments about the consequences of clearing the BTP_HAS_GARBAGE page
flag bit that apply only to VACUUM were added to code that deals with
opportunistic deletion of LP_DEAD items by commit a760893d.  The same
comment block was added to both _bt_delitems_vacuum() and
_bt_delitems_delete().  Correct _bt_delitems_delete()'s copy of the
comment block.

_bt_delitems_delete() reliably deletes items that were found by caller
to have their LP_DEAD bit set.  There is no question about whether or
not unsetting the BTP_HAS_GARBAGE bit can miss some LP_DEAD items that
were set recently.

Also tweak a related section of the nbtree README.

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/.
