Documentation fix: sum(float4) returns float4, not float8.

The old claim is from my commit d06ebdb of 2000-07-17, but it seems to have been a plain old thinko; sum(float4) has been distinct from sum(float8) since Berkeley days. Noted by KaiGai Kohei. While at it, mention the existence of sum(money), which is also of embarrassingly ancient vintage.
