Fixed.  I copied the commit that did the rename, but forgot to actually
update the release note text to match.

Good point.  I incorrectly interpreted the commit text as part of our
test infrastuture and not the addition of two SQL functions:

    Add test scaffolding for soft error reporting from input functions.

    pg_input_is_valid() returns boolean, while pg_input_error_message()
    returns the primary error message if the input is bad, or NULL
    if the input is OK.  The main reason for having two functions is
    so that we can test both the details-wanted and the no-details-wanted
    code paths.

I have added this release note item:
