Doc: fix syntax synopsis for INSERT ... ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE.

Browse Source 
Commit 906bfcad7 adjusted the syntax synopsis for UPDATE, but missed
the fact that the INSERT synopsis now contains a duplicate of that.

In passing, improve wording and markup about using a table alias to
dodge the conflict with use of "excluded" as a special table name.
