The adminpack extension was only used to support pgAdmin III, which
in turn was declared EOL many years ago. Removing the extension also
allows us to remove functions from core as well which were only used
to support old version of adminpack.

The original titles only had the module name, which is not very useful
when scanning the list. By adding a very brief description to each
title, the table of contents becomes friendlier.
Also amend the introduction in the "additional modules" appendix, using
the word "Extension" more extensively. Nowadays, almost all contrib
modules are extensions, so this is also helpful.

This commit adds or fixes markups used in a couple of places in the docs
(for <command>, <systemitem> and <literal>). While on it, this
clarifies some of the documentation added recently for archiving modules
with archive_command, that would still be used as default choice if no
external module is defined (though an archive module could as well use
an archive_command).

Generally if a role is granted membership to another role with NOINHERIT
they must use SET ROLE to access the privileges of that role, however
with predefined roles the membership and privilege is conflated. Fix that
by replacing is_member_of_role with has_privs_for_role for predefined
roles. Patch does not remove is_member_of_role from acl.h, but it does
add a warning not to use that function for privilege checking. Not
backpatched based on hackers list discussion.

This converts the contrib documentation to the new style, and mops up
a couple of function tables that were outside chapter 9 in the main
docs.
A few contrib modules choose not to present their functions in the
standard tabular format. There might be room to rethink those decisions
now that the standard format is more friendly to verbose descriptions.
But I have not undertaken to do that here; I just converted existing
tables.

This function allows us to fsync the specified file or directory.
It's useful, for example, when we want to sync the file that
pg_file_write() writes out or that COPY TO exports the data into,
for durability.

This provides a newer version of adminpack which works with the newly
added default roles to support GRANT'ing to non-superusers access to
read and write files, along with related functions (unlinking files,
getting file length, renaming/removing files, scanning the log file
directory) which are supported through adminpack.
Note that new versions of the functions are required because an
environment might have an updated version of the library but still have
the old adminpack 1.0 catalog definitions (where EXECUTE is GRANT'd to
PUBLIC for the functions).
This patch also removes the long-deprecated alternative names for
functions that adminpack used to include and which are now included in
the backend, in adminpack v1.1. Applications using the deprecated names
should be updated to use the backend functions instead. Existing
installations which continue to use adminpack v1.0 should continue to
function until/unless adminpack is upgraded.

Since some preparation work had already been done, the only source
changes left were changing empty-element tags like <xref linkend="foo">
to <xref linkend="foo"/>, and changing the DOCTYPE.
The source files are still named *.sgml, but they are actually XML files
now. Renaming could be considered later.
In the build system, the intermediate step to convert from SGML to XML
is removed. Everything is build straight from the source files again.
The OpenSP (or the old SP) package is no longer needed.
The documentation toolchain instructions are updated and are much
simpler now.

For DocBook XML compatibility, don't use SGML empty tags (</>) anymore,
replace by the full tag name. Add a warning option to catch future
occurrences.
