SET TRANSACTION .. DEFERRABLE missing docs?

I was reading through ref/set_transaction.sgml and noticed that the
only documentation of DEFERRABLE is that it's a PostgreSQL language
extension, not anything about what it actually does. Same for begin
and start_transaction. I see it described in README-SSI and for the
guc default_transaction_deferrable, but I think it needs to be
documented on that ref page as well.. (in fact, the guc docs refer
to the reference page, which doesn't have more info)

Thanks for spotting that. I'll put something together.

I think the attached covers it.
