Doc: hack on table 26.1 till it fits in PDF format.

tglsfdc · tglsfdc · commit 2e619f86a96c · 2020-05-14T18:44:18.000-04:00
I abbreviated the heck out of the column headings, and made a few small wording changes, to get it to build warning-free. I can't say that the result is pretty, but it's probably better than removing this table entirely. As of this commit, we have zero "exceed the available area" warnings in a US-letter PDF build, and one such warning (about an 863-millipoint overrun) in an A4 build. I expect to get rid of that one by renaming wait events, so I'm not doing anything about it at the formatting level. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/6916.1589146280@sss.pgh.pa.us
