Peter Eisentraut 6ef2448796 Fix a whitespace issue with the man pages
There is what may actually be a mistake in our markup.  The problem is
in a situation like

<para>
 <command>FOO</command> is ...

there is strictly speaking a line break before "FOO".  In the HTML
output, this does not appear to be a problem, but in the man page
output, this shows up, so you get double blank lines at odd places.

So far, we have attempted to work around this with an XSL hack, but
that causes other problems, such as creating run-ins in places like

<acronym>SQL</acronym> <command>COPY</command>

So fix the problem properly by removing the extra whitespace.  I only
fixed the problems that affect the man page output, not all the
places.

<para>
The ability to temporarily enable or disable a trigger is provided by
<xref linkend="SQL-ALTERTABLE">, not by
<command>ALTER TRIGGER</>, because <command>ALTER TRIGGER</> has no
convenient way to express the option of enabling or disabling all of
a table's triggers at once.
