Tom Lane 2c0791376a Doc: rework introductory documentation about covering indexes.
Documenting INCLUDE in the section about unique indexes is confusing,
as complained of by Emilio Platzer.  Furthermore, it entirely failed
to explain why you might want to use the feature.  The section about
index-only scans is really the right place; it already talked about
making such things the hard way.  Rewrite that text to describe INCLUDE
as the normal way to make a covering index.

Also, move that section up a couple of places, as it now seems more
important than some of the stuff we had before it.  It still has to
be after expression and partial indexes, since otherwise some of it
would involve forward references.

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.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

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 may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
