Doc: use "an SQL" consistently rather than "a SQL"

david-rowley · david-rowley · commit 7bdd489d3d32 · 2022-04-20T15:17:56.000+12:00
Similarly to what was done in 04539e7, we standardized on SQL being pronounced "es-que-ell" rather than "sequel" in our documentation. Two inconsistencies have crept in during the v15 cycle. The others existed before but were missed in 04539e7 due to none of the searches accounting for "SQL" being wrapped in tags. As with 04539e7, we don't touch code comments here in order to not create unnecessary back-patching pain.
