Tom Lane e7d29d1fac Doc: improve description of window function processing.
The previous wording talked about a "single pass over the data",
which can be read as promising more than intended (to wit, that only
one WindowAgg plan node will be used).  What we promise is only what
the SQL spec requires, namely that the data not get re-sorted between
window functions with compatible PARTITION BY/ORDER BY clauses.
Adjust the wording in hopes of making this clearer.

<!-- 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.
