Recommend triggers, not rules, in the CREATE VIEW reference page.

We've generally recommended use of INSTEAD triggers over rules since that
feature was added; but this old text in the CREATE VIEW reference page
didn't get the memo.  Noted by Thomas Kellerer.

Currently, views are read only: the system will not allow an insert,
update, or delete on a view. You can get the effect of an updatable
view by creating rules that rewrite inserts, etc. on the view into
view by creating <literal>INSTEAD</> triggers on the view, which
must convert attempted inserts, etc. on the view into
appropriate actions on other tables. For more information see
<xref linkend="sql-createrule">.
<xref linkend="sql-createtrigger">. Another possibility is to create
rules (see <xref linkend="sql-createrule">), but in practice triggers
are easier to understand and use correctly.
