Remove obsolete remark that PQprepare() is more flexible than PREPARE.

Bring some sanity to the trace_recovery_messages code and docs.
...
Per gripe from Fujii Masao, though this is not exactly his proposed patch.
Categorize as DEVELOPER_OPTIONS and set context PGC_SIGHUP, as per Fujii,
but set the default to LOG because higher values aren't really sensible
(see the code for trace_recovery()). Fix the documentation to agree with
the code and to try to explain what the variable actually does. Get rid
of no-op calls trace_recovery(LOG), which accomplish nothing except to
demonstrate that this option confuses even its author.

Fix indentation of verbatim block elements
...
Block elements with verbatim formatting (literallayout, programlisting,
screen, synopsis) should be aligned at column 0 independent of the surrounding
SGML, because whitespace is significant, and indenting them creates erratic
whitespace in the output. The CSS stylesheets already take care of indenting
the output.
Assorted markup improvements to go along with it.

Work around a documentation toolchain problem by replacing the "AIX-fixlevels"

table with a <variablelist> carrying the same information. Previously the
9.0 documentation was failing to build as a US-size PDF file. It's quite
obscure what the real problem is or why this avoids it, but we need a hack
now so we can build docs for beta4.
In passing do a bit of editing in the AIX installation docs, in particular
remove a long-obsolete claim that the regression tests are likely to fail.
