doc: Replace list of drivers and PLs with wiki link
The list of external language drivers and procedural languages was never complete or exhaustive, and rather than attempting to manage it the content has migrated to the wiki. This replaces the tables altogether with links to the wiki as we regularly get requests for adding various projects, which we reject without any clear policy for why or how the content should be managed. The threads linked to below are the most recent discussions about this, the archives contain many more. Backpatch to all supported branches since the list on the wiki applies to all branches. Author: Jonathan Katz <jkatz@postgresql.org> Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/169165415312.635.10247434927885764880@wrigleys.postgresql.org Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/169177958824.635.11087800083040275266@wrigleys.postgresql.org Backpatch-through: v11
