Andrew Dunstan 4e23c9ef65 Split func.sgml into more manageable pieces
func.sgml has grown over the years to the point where it is very
difficult to manage. This commit splits out each sect1 piece into its
own file, which is then included in the main file, so that the built
documentation should be identical to the pre-split documentation. All
these new files are placed in a new "func" subdirectory, and the
previous func.sgml is removed.

<function>pg_event_trigger_ddl_commands</function> returns a list of
<acronym>DDL</acronym> commands executed by each user action,
when invoked in a function attached to a
<literal>ddl_command_end</literal> event trigger. If called in any other
context, an error is raised.
<function>pg_event_trigger_ddl_commands</function> returns one row for each
base command executed; some commands that are a single SQL sentence
may return more than one row. This function returns the following
