Doc: improve introductory information about procedures.

Clarify the discussion in "User-Defined Procedures", by laying out
the key differences between functions and procedures in a bulleted
list.  Notably, this avoids burying the lede about procedures being
able to do transaction control.  Make the back-link in the CREATE
FUNCTION reference page more prominent, and add one in CREATE
PROCEDURE.

Per gripe from Guyren Howe.  Thanks to David Johnston for discussion.
