Update contrib/README
Remove lots of outdated information that is duplicated by the better-maintained SGML documentation. In particular, remove the outdated listing of contrib modules. Update the installation instructions to mention CREATE EXTENSION, but don't go into too much detail.

This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
|

features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly because
|
||||
they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be part of
|
||||
the main source tree. This does not preclude their usefulness.

Most items can be built with `gmake all' and installed with
|
||||
`gmake install' in the usual fashion, after you have run the `configure'
|
||||
script in the top-level directory. Some directories supply new
|
||||
user-defined functions, operators, or types. In these cases, after you have
|
||||
installed the files you need to register the new entities in the database
|
||||
system by running the commands in the supplied .sql file. For example,
|
||||
When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
|
||||
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can
|
||||
also build and install them all by running "gmake all" and "gmake
|
||||
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
|
||||
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.
|
||||
|
||||
$ psql -d dbname -f module.sql
|
||||
Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
|
||||
types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
|
||||
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
|
||||
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database,
|
||||
you can simply do
|
||||
|
||||
CREATE EXTENSION module_name;
