Now that the documentation sources are in XML rather than SGML, some of
the documentation about the editor, or more specifically Emacs, setup
needs updating. The updated instructions recommend using nxml-mode,
which works mostly out of the box, with some small tweaks in
emacs.samples and .dir-locals.el.
Also remove some obsolete stuff in .dir-locals.el. I did, however,
leave the sgml-mode settings in there so that someone using Emacs
without emacs.samples gets those settings when editing a *.sgml file.
Set Emacs's perl-continued-statement-offset to match perltidy's
--continuation-indentation, which is 2 (not overridden in PostgreSQL's
profile) rather than the 4 that Emacs uses by default.
Update emacs.samples with new configuration snippets that match pgindent
et al. formatting more accurately and follow Emacs Lisp best practices
better.
Add .dir-locals.el with a subset of that configuration for casual
editing and viewing.
