Dean Rasheed 4bc8f29088 doc: improve description of privileges for MERGE and update glossary.
On the MERGE page, the description of the privileges required could be
taken to imply that the SELECT privilege is required on all columns of
the data source, whereas actually it is only required on the columns
referred to by conditions or expressions in the MERGE command. Re-word
it to make that a little clearer, and mention expressions as well as
conditions.

Also, add a glossary entry for MERGE, and nearby on the glossary page,
mention MERGE in the list of commands that cannot update a
materialized view.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software, and related software, may be
obtained at https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information
look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
