    Improve documentation of the role-dropping process. · 53951058

    In general one may have to run both REASSIGN OWNED and DROP OWNED to get
    rid of all the dependencies of a role to be dropped.  This was alluded to
    in the REASSIGN OWNED man page, but not really spelled out in full; and in
    any case the procedure ought to be documented in a more prominent place
    than that.  Add a section to the "Database Roles" chapter explaining this,
    and do a bit of wordsmithing in the relevant commands' man pages.
