Editorial corrections to the October 2013 minor-release notes.
This is mostly to fix incorrect migration instructions: since the preceding minor releases advised reindexing some GIST indexes, it's important that we back-link to that advice rather than earlier instances. Also improve some bug descriptions and fix a few typos. No back-patch yet; these files will get copied into the back branches later in the release process.
