Doc: rearrange the documentation of binary-string functions.
Rather than intermixing the discussion of text-string and binary-stringfunctions, make a clean break, moving all discussion of binary-stringoperations into section 9.5. This involves some duplication offunction descriptions between 9.4 and 9.5, but it seems cleaner on thewhole since the individual descriptions are clearer (and on the otherside of the coin, it gets rid of some duplicated descriptions, too).Move the convert*/encode/decode functions to a separate table, becausethey don't quite seem to fit under the heading of "binary stringfunctions".Also provide full documentation of the textual formats supported byencode() and decode() (which was the original goal of this patchseries, many moons ago).Also move the table of built-in encoding conversions out of section 9.4,where it no longer had any relevance whatsoever, and put it into section23.3 about character sets. I chose to put both that and table 23.2(multibyte-translation-table) into a new <sect2> so as not to break upthe flow of discussion in 23.3.3.Also do a bunch of minor copy-editing on the function descriptionsin 9.4 and 9.5.Karl Pinc, reviewed by Fabien Coelho, further hacking by meDiscussion:https://postgr.es/m/20190304163347.7bca4897@slate.meme.com1 parent41aadee commit34a0a81
