doc: Change statistics function xref to the right target

Commit 7d3b7011b
added a link to the statistics functions, which at the
time were anchored under the section for statistics views. aebe989477
added a separate section for statistics functions, but the link was not
updated to point to the new anchor. Fix by changing the xref.
Backpatch to all supported branches.

Doc: copy-edit the introductory para for the pg_class catalog.

The previous wording had a faint archaic whiff to it, and more
importantly used "catalogs" as a verb, which while cutely
self-referential seems likely to provoke confusion in this
particular context. Also consistently use "kind" not "type" to
refer to the different kinds of relations distinguished by relkind.
Per gripe from Martin Nash. Back-patch to supported versions.

Don't crash if cursor_to_xmlschema is used on a non-data-returning Portal.
...
cursor_to_xmlschema() assumed that any Portal must have a tupDesc,
which is not so. Add a defensive check.
It's plausible that this mistake occurred because of the rather
poorly chosen name of the lookup function SPI_cursor_find(),
which in such cases is returning something that isn't very much
like a cursor. Add some documentation to try to forestall future
errors of the same ilk.
Report and patch by Boyu Yang (docs changes by me). Back-patch
to all supported branches.

The logical_replication_mode GUC is intended for testing and debugging
purposes, but its current name may be misleading and encourage users to make
unnecessary changes.
To avoid confusion, renaming the GUC to a less misleading name
debug_logical_replication_streaming that casual users are less likely to mistakenly
assume needs to be modified in a regular logical replication setup.

The list of external language drivers and procedural languages was
never complete or exhaustive, and rather than attempting to manage
it the content has migrated to the wiki. This replaces the tables
altogether with links to the wiki as we regularly get requests for
adding various projects, which we reject without any clear policy
for why or how the content should be managed.
The threads linked to below are the most recent discussions about
this, the archives contain many more.
