doc: Mention more variant --name=value of -c name=value for postgres

postgres --name=value and -c name=value are equivalents.  This commit
expands the documentation of libpq's "option" connection parameter and
the server startup sequence for shell interactions to mention both
rather than only -c.

Extracted from a larger patch by the same authors.
