Add a docs section for obsoleted and renamed functions and settings
The new appendix groups information on renamed or removed settings,commands, etc into an out-of-the-way part of the docs.The original id elements are retained in each subsection to ensure thatthe same filenames are produced for HTML docs. This prevents /current/links on the web from breaking, and allows users of the web docsto follow links from old version pages to info on the changes in thenew version. Prior to this change, a link to /current/ for renamedsections like the recovery.conf docs would just 404. Similarly ifsomeone searched for recovery.conf they would find the pg11 docs,but there would be no /12/ or /current/ link, so they couldn't easilyfind out that it was removed in pg12 or how to adapt.Index entries are also added so that there's a breadcrumb trail forusers to follow when they know the old name, but not what we changed itto. So a user who is trying to find out how to set standby_mode inPostgreSQL 12+, or where pg_resetxlog went, now has more chance offinding that information.Craig Ringer and Stephen FrostReviewed-by: Euler TaveiraDiscussion:https://postgr.es/m/CAGRY4nzPNOyYQ_1-pWYToUVqQ0ThqP5jdURnJMZPm539fdizOg%40mail.gmail.comBackpatch-through: 10
