Doc: clarify description of current-date/time functions.

Minor wordsmithing of the func.sgml paragraph describing
statement_timestamp() and allied functions: don't switch between
"statement" and "command" when those are being used to mean about
the same thing.

Also, add some text to protocol.sgml describing the perhaps-surprising
behavior these functions have in a multi-statement Query message.
