Tweak wording in sequence-function docs to avoid PDF build failures.
Adjust the wording in the first para of "Sequence Manipulation Functions" so that neither of the link phrases in it break across line boundaries, in either A4- or US-page-size PDF output. This fixes a reported build failure for the 9.3beta2 A4 PDF docs, and future-proofs this particular para against causing similar problems in future. (Perhaps somebody will fix this issue in the SGML/TeX documentation tool chain someday, but I'm not holding my breath.) Back-patch to all supported branches, since the same problem could rise up to bite us in future updates if anyone changes anything earlier than this in func.sgml.
