Peter Eisentraut bb4eefe7bf doc: Improve DocBook XML validity
DocBook XML is superficially compatible with DocBook SGML but has a
slightly stricter DTD that we have been violating in a few cases.
Although XSLT doesn't care whether the document is valid, the style
sheets don't necessarily process invalid documents correctly, so we need
to work toward fixing this.

This first commit moves the indexterms in refentry elements to an
allowed position.  It has no impact on the output.

<title>Notes</title>
<para>
<command>DROP OWNED</command> is often used to prepare for the
removal of one or more roles. Because <command>DROP OWNED</command>
only affects the objects in the current database, it is usually
necessary to execute this command in each database that contains
objects owned by a role that is to be removed.
</para>
<para>
Using the <literal>CASCADE</literal> option might make the command
recurse to objects owned by other users.
</para>
<para>
The <xref linkend="sql-reassign-owned"> command is an alternative that
reassigns the ownership of all the database objects owned by one or
more roles.
</para>
<para>
Databases and tablespaces owned by the role(s) will not be removed.
</para>
