Doc: tweak textsearch.sgml for SEO purposes.
Google seems to like to return textsearch.html for queries about GIN and GiST indexes, even though it's not a primary reference for either. It seems likely that that's because those keywords appear in the page title. Since "GIN and GiST Index Types" is not a very apposite title for this material anyway, rename the section in hopes of stopping that. Also provide explicit links to the GIN and GiST chapters, to help anyone who finds their way to this page regardless. Per gripe from Jan Piotrowski. Back-patch to supported branches. (Unfortunately Google is likely to continue returning the 9.1 version of this page, but improving that situation is a matter for the www team.)

There are two kinds of indexes that can be used to speed up full text
3532-
searches.

searches:
3533+
<link linkend="gin"><acronym>GIN</acronym></link> and

Note that indexes are not mandatory for full text searching, but in

cases where a column is searched on a regular basis, an index is
