doc: && not googleable by "postgres select points by extent"

Description

User struggled writing a point-in-polygon query. Initial google search was "postgres select points by extent". It brought user to ST_Extent, and later ST_Within.

Instead:

  • it should have brought user to && which should say word "extent" more
  • ST_Extent should have example to &&
  • && should recommend checking if ST_Intersects is fine too

Add cross-reference from && to ST_Intersects and vice versa

Add cross reference for &&, ST_Intersects, ST_Extent to each other. Closes #4593 for PostGIS 3.1.0
