Doc: update documentation about EXCLUDE constraint elements.
What the documentation calls an exclude_element is an index_elem
according to gram.y, and it allows all the same options that
a CREATE INDEX column specification does. The COLLATE patch
neglected to update the CREATE/ALTER TABLE docs about that,
and later the opclass-parameters patch made the same oversight.
Add those options to the syntax synopses, and polish the
associated text a bit.
Back-patch to v13 where opclass parameters came in. We could
update v12 with just the COLLATE omission, but it doesn't quite
seem worth the trouble at this point.
