David Rowley fde9c06881 Doc: remove notes about the version vacuumdb options are valid from
Here we remove the notes which mention which version the given vacuumdb
option is available from.  There are now 11 of these notes and they're
both quite untidy and take up far more space than they seem to be worth.
On running a print preview of the compiled HTML, removing these notes
saves about 1 A4 page (~20% less space).

If people need to see which options are available on older versions, then
consulting the documents for that version seems like a good idea.  In any
case, when using newer vacuumdb versions on older servers, the user will
receive an error if they try to use an unsupported option.

Additionally, 3 of the notes are warning about the option only being
available from PostgreSQL 9.6 and later.  That version's support ended 2.5
years ago.  So, it's quite clear that the value of these notes diminishes
over time.

<!-- doc/src/sgml/README.links -->

Linking within DocBook documents can be confusing, so here is a summary:


Intra-document Linking
----------------------

<xref>
	use to get chapter/section number from the title of the target
	link, or xreflabel if defined at the target, or refentrytitle if target
        is a refentry;  has no close tag
	http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/documentation/reference/html/xref.html

linkend=
	controls the target of the link/xref, required

endterm=
	for <xref>, allows the text of the link/xref to be taken from a
	different link target title

<link>
	use to supply text for the link, only uses linkend, requires </link>
	http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/documentation/reference/html/link.html
	can be embedded inside of <command>, unlike <xref>


External Linking
----------------

<ulink>
	like <link>, but uses a URL (not a document target);  requires
	</ulink>; if no text is specified, the URL appears as the link
	text
	http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/documentation/reference/html/ulink.html

url=
	used by <ulink> to specify the URL, required


Guidelines
----------

- For an internal link, if you want to supply text, use <link>, else
  <xref>.

- Specific nouns like GUC variables, SQL commands, and contrib modules
  usually have xreflabels.

- For an external link, use <ulink>, with or without link text.

- xreflabels added to tags prevent the chapter/section for id's from being
  referenced;  only the xreflabel is accessible.  Therefore, use xreflabels
  only when linking is common, and chapter/section information is unneeded.
