Doc: improve and centralize the documentation for OID alias types. Previously, a lot of information about type regclass existed only in the discussion of the sequence functions. Maybe that made sense in the beginning, because I think originally those were the only functions taking regclass. But it doesn't make sense anymore. Move that material to the "Object Identifier Types" section in datatype.sgml, generalize it to talk about the other reg* types as well, and add more examples. Per bug #16991 from Federico Caselli.
