Commit bc4b856e authored by Neil Conway's avatar Neil Conway

Add text to the VACUUM, REINDEX, DROP TABLESPACE and CREATE TABLESPACE

reference pages documenting that these commands cannot be used within
a transaction block. Also make some minor improvements to the psql
reference page. Patch from Simon Riggs, minor editorialization by
myself.
