Fix documentation to specify the correct range of timezone offsets for

type time with time zone, ie, +/- 13:59 not +/- 12:00.  Also some minor
wording improvements.

       The <acronym>SQL</acronym> standard differentiates <type>timestamp without time zone</type>

-      literals be explicitly typed:

       fields in the input value, and is not adjusted for time zone.
