doc: Add better description for rewrite functions in event triggers

There are two functions that can be used in event triggers to get more
details about a rewrite happening on a relation.  Both had a limited
documentation:
- pg_event_trigger_table_rewrite_reason() and
pg_event_trigger_table_rewrite_oid() were not mentioned in the main
event trigger section in the paragraph dedicated to the event
table_rewrite.
- pg_event_trigger_table_rewrite_reason() returns an integer which is a
bitmap of the reasons why a rewrite happens.  There was no explanation
about the meaning of these values, forcing the reader to look at the
code to find out that these are defined in event_trigger.h.

While on it, let's add a comment in event_trigger.h where the
AT_REWRITE_* are defined, telling to update the documentation when
these values are changed.

Backpatch down to 13 as a consequence of 1ad23335f36b, where this area
of the documentation has been heavily reworked.
