Peter Eisentraut 3c49c6facb Convert documentation to DocBook XML
Since some preparation work had already been done, the only source
changes left were changing empty-element tags like <xref linkend="foo">
to <xref linkend="foo"/>, and changing the DOCTYPE.

The source files are still named *.sgml, but they are actually XML files
now.  Renaming could be considered later.

In the build system, the intermediate step to convert from SGML to XML
is removed.  Everything is build straight from the source files again.
The OpenSP (or the old SP) package is no longer needed.

The documentation toolchain instructions are updated and are much
simpler now.

<para>
<command>ALTER STATISTICS</command> changes the parameters of an existing
extended statistics object. Any parameters not specifically set in the
<command>ALTER STATISTICS</command> command retain their prior settings.
</para>
<para>
You must own the statistics object to use <command>ALTER STATISTICS</command>.
To change a statistics object's schema, you must also
have <literal>CREATE</literal> privilege on the new schema.
To alter the owner, you must also be a direct or indirect member of the new
owning role, and that role must have <literal>CREATE</literal> privilege on
the statistics object's schema. (These restrictions enforce that altering
the owner doesn't do anything you couldn't do by dropping and recreating
the statistics object. However, a superuser can alter ownership of any
statistics object anyway.)
