pgsql: docs: update PL/pgSQL docs about the use of := and =

Surely this is wrong:

Equals (<literal>:=</>) can be used instead of SQL-standard
<literal>=</> for <command>GET DIAGNOSTICS</>.

I usually pronounce ":=" as "becomes". Other people read it as "is
assigned" and most refer to it by name as the "assignment operator" or
"assignment". Whatever it is it's surely not "equals".

Oh, yes, fixed in the attached, applied patch.
