Doc: simplify the tutorial's window-function examples.
For the purposes of this discussion, row_number() is just as good
as rank(), and its behavior is easier to understand and describe.
So let's switch the examples to using row_number().
Along the way to checking the results given in the tutorial,
I found it helpful to extract the empsalary table we use in the
regression tests, which is evidently the same data that was used
to make these results. So I shoved that into advanced.source
to improve the coverage of that file a little. (There's still
several pages of the tutorial that are not included in it,
but at least now 3.5 Window Functions is covered.)
