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

Similarly to what was done in 04539e73f, 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 04539e73f due to none of the searches
accounting for "SQL" being wrapped in tags.

As with 04539e73f, we don't touch code comments here in order to not
create unnecessary back-patching pain.

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

Similarly to what was done in 04539e73f and 7bdd489d3, we standardized on
SQL being pronounced "es-que-ell" rather than "sequel" in our
documentation.

This fixes the instances of "a SQL" that have crept in during the v16
cycle.

Per the precedent set by 04539e73f, adjust article prefixes for "SQL" to
use "an" consistently rather than "a", i.e., "an es-que-ell" rather than
"a sequel".

Both of these are new to v18. Also see b1b13d2b5, d866f0374 and
7bdd489d3.
