    Doc: improve index entry for "median". · 3c9d3984
    Tom Lane authored
    We had an index entry for "median" attached to the percentile_cont function
    entry, which was pretty useless because a person following the link would
    never realize that that function was the one they were being hinted to use.
    
    Instead, make the index entry point at the example in syntax-aggregates,
    and add a <seealso> link to "percentile".
    
    Also, since that example explicitly claims to be calculating the median,
    make it use percentile_cont not percentile_disc.  This makes no difference
    in terms of the larger goals of that section, but so far as I can find,
    nearly everyone thinks that "median" means the continuous not discrete
    calculation.
    
    Per gripe from Steven Winfield.  Back-patch to 9.4 where we introduced
    percentile_cont.
