	Doc: explain about dependency tracking for new-style SQL functions.
5.14 Dependency Tracking was not updated when we added new-style SQL functions. Improve that. Noted by Sami Imseih. Back-patch to v14 where new-style SQL functions came in. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/2C1933AB-C2F8-499B-9D18-4AC1882256A0@amazon.com
