Fix some trailing whitespace in documentation files

Hmm ... by my count there are still 245 lines with trailing spaces
in the *.sgml files. (Most but not all are from copied-n-pasted
psql output.)

I'm not quite sure what's the point of retail fixes. I could
get behind removing *all* these occurrences, and then adjusting
.gitattributes so that git bleats about introducing new ones.
Other folks might find that a little too obsessive-compulsive,
though.

regards, tom lane

If we don't want them in the docs in the first place (which I agree that we
don't), I would prefer them highlighted sooner rather than later.

If someone wants to set that up, I'm not opposed. In the meantime, I'm
content to clean up stray whitespace once in a while. I don't want to
not do that, because otherwise too much junk will accumulate.

It's bothered the neatnik in me for a long time, so I'm happy to
make it happen if there are not objections.

Mildly on-topic: Has the topic of a pgindent like process for docs been
discussed at some point? The archives didn't turn up anything for me.

I don't remember any discussion of that. We have 'make check-tabs' for
SGML files, but that's about it.

I've pushed a patch to remove the remaining trailing whitespace.

I thought about adjusting 'make check-tabs' to know about that rule,
but on the whole I'm inclined to remove it instead. The modern
technology for this is "git diff --check" and variants of that,
and I'm not sure why we should maintain a less-flexible alternative.
(It'd be one less headache for the meson conversion, too.)
