Incorrect and missing docs for range_intersect_agg

Hi all,

range_intersect_agg is documented to return anymultirange (on this
page[1]https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/functions-aggregate.html), but it actually returns a range.

In addition, range_intersect_agg also accepts a multirange as its
parameter, but that's not documented on the same page. Note that range_agg
does *not* accept a multirange (possibly already added for PG15, see
this[2]https://www.mail-archive.com/pgsql-hackers@lists.postgresql.org/msg105057.html).

Thanks,

Shay

The form with anyrange input, yeah.

In addition, range_intersect_agg also accepts a multirange as its
parameter, but that's not documented on the same page.

Hmm, this was fixed recently in HEAD, but it should have been
back-patched to v14 and was not.

Will fix, thanks for noticing!
