Re: pgsql: Reorder 9.3 release note items

OK, all changes made and committed. Thanks. (You can see the details
in the git commit.)

For this item:

* Correct predicate locking for DROP INDEX CONCURRENTLY -
bugfix not a feature

did you have new text. We do mention bug fixes. I changed "Correct" to
"Fix" in a later commit.
