Hm, we do not have <indexterm> entries attached to any other psql
meta-commands. Maybe they all should have one, or maybe not, but
I'm unconvinced about adding one for just this command. What I did
instead was to make a link target (which there *is* precedent for,
see \copy) and have the note in tablefunc.sgml link to it.

I failed to resist the temptation to edit the command description
rather heavily, too.

Pushed with revisions.
