Document pg_ls_*dir hiding of directories and special files
It's strange that a directory-listing function does not list all entries
in a directory, so let's at least document it. This involves
pg_ls_logdir
pg_ls_waldir
pg_ls_archive_statusdir
pg_ls_tmpdir
Backpatch as far back as it applies cleanly (and as far as as each
function exists). REL_10_STABLE uses different wording, but hopefully
people are not reading docs so old to write new apps anyway.
