Reflow text in lock manager README so that it fits within 80 columns. Correct some mistakes. Expand the README to explain not only why group locking exists but also the data structures that support it. Improve comments related to group locking several files. Change the name of a macro argument for improved clarity. Most of these problems were reported by Tom Lane, but I found a few of them myself. Robert Haas and Tom Lane
