Re: pgsql: Reorder 9.3 release note items

OK, all changes made and committed.  Thanks.  (You can see the details
in the git commit.)

For this item:

    * Correct predicate locking for DROP INDEX CONCURRENTLY -
    bugfix not a feature

did you have new text.  We do mention bug fixes.  I changed "Correct" to
"Fix" in a later commit.
