Doc: improve discussion of variable substitution in PL/pgSQL.
This was a bit disjointed, partly because of a not-well-considered
decision to document SQL commands that don't return result rows as
though they had nothing in common with commands that do. Rearrange
so that we have one discussion of variable substitution that clearly
applies to all types of SQL commands, and then handle the question
of processing command output separately. Clarify that EXPLAIN,
CREATE TABLE AS SELECT, and similar commands that incorporate an
optimizable statement will act like optimizable statements for the
purposes of variable substitution. Do a bunch of minor wordsmithing
in the same area.
