When testing out CREATE PROCEDURE with 11 beta 2, I noticed, the hints
in the errors reference DROP FUNCTION, which doesn't work for
procedures.  DROP ROUTINE works for both functions and procedures, so
this patch should work for both.

Please CC me when responding as I don't currently subscribe to the
list.

Thanks,
Jeremy

Subject: [PATCH] Have hint use DROP ROUTINE instead of DROP FUNCTION

The current code's hint is misleading for procedures:

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE a(in int)
LANGUAGE SQL
AS $$
SELECT NULL;
$$;
# CREATE PROCEDURE

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE a(inout int)
LANGUAGE SQL
AS $$
SELECT NULL;
$$;
# ERROR:  cannot change return type of existing function
# HINT:  Use DROP FUNCTION a(integer) first.

DROP FUNCTION a(integer);
# ERROR:  a(integer) is not a function

DROP ROUTINE a(integer);
# DROP ROUTINE

DROP ROUTINE should work for both functions and procedures.
