doc: Use more concise wording for pl/pgSQL TG_ variables
To improve readability of the TG_ variables definition lists, this moves the datatypes up to the defined term to avoid having each entry start with "Data type". This also removes redundant wording that that didn't carry any information from the descriptions. Author: Christoph Berg <myon@debian.org> Reviewed-by: Dagfinn Ilmari Mannsåker <ilmari@ilmari.org> Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/Yw4Noe3A2s87A0qq@msg.df7cb.de
