Doc: improve documentation about nextval()/setval().

Clarify that the results of nextval and setval are not guaranteed
persistent until the calling transaction commits.  Some people
seem to have drawn the opposite conclusion from the statement that
these functions are never rolled back, so re-word to avoid saying
it quite that way.
