    Fix erroneous handling of shared dependencies (ie dependencies on roles) · d691cb91

    in CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION.  The original code would update pg_shdepend
    as if a new function was being created, even if it wasn't, with two bad
    consequences: pg_shdepend might record the wrong owner for the function,
    and any dependencies for roles mentioned in the function's ACL would be lost.
    The fix is very easy: just don't touch pg_shdepend at all when doing a
    function replacement.
    
    Also update the CREATE FUNCTION reference page, which never explained
    exactly what changes and doesn't change in a function replacement.
    In passing, fix the CREATE VIEW reference page similarly; there's no
    code bug there, but the docs didn't say what happens.
