doc: show functions returning record types and use of ROWS FROM

Previously it was unclear exactly how ROWS FROM behaved and how to cast
the data types of columns returned by FROM functions.  Also document
that only non-OUT record functions can have their columns cast to data
types.

      In some cases it is useful to define table functions that can
      return different column sets depending on how they are invoked.
      To support this, the table function can be declared as returning

      the query.  This syntax looks like:
