Fix erroneous documentation of the syntax of CREATE CONSTRAINT TRIGGER.

The grammar requires a specific ordering of the clauses, but the
documentation showed a different order.  This error was introduced in
commit b47953f9, which merged the CREATE
CONSTRAINT TRIGGER documentation into the CREATE TRIGGER page.  There is
no code bug AFAICS.

The <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> behavior is for <literal>BEFORE
