    doc: Update uses of the word "procedure" · b1949577
    Peter Eisentraut authored
    
    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.
