Clarify error message and documentation related to typed tables.
We restrict typed tables (those declared as "OF composite_type")
to be based on stand-alone composite types, not composite types
that are the implicitly-created rowtypes of other tables.
But if you tried to do that, you got the very confusing error
message "type foo is not a composite type". Provide a more specific
message for that case. Also clarify related documentation in the
CREATE TABLE man page.
Erik Wienhold and David G. Johnston, per complaint from Hannu Krosing.
