b3abca6810 pgstat: Update docs to match the shared memory stats reality.
This includes removing documentation for stats_temp_directory, adding
documentation for stats_fetch_consistency, rephrasing references to the stats
collector and documenting that starting a cleanly shut down standby will not
remove stats anymore. The latter point might require further wordsmithing, it
wasn't easy to adjust some of the existing content.

379a28b56a doc: Add "(process)" to the term "WAL receiver" in glossary.
This commit changes the term "WAL receiver" to "WAL receiver (process)"
in the glossary, so that users can easily understand WAL receiver is
obviously a process.

Doc: add glossary term for "auxiliary process"
Add entries for existing processes not documented, too, and adjust
existing definitions for consistency.

Per question from Bharath Rupireddy.

01ddd2f7e4 doc: Make terminology in glossary consistent
Use "reside in" rather than "belong to" for objects in a schema.
Previous use was a mix of the two.

953c64e0f6 doc: add commas after 'i.e.' and 'e.g.'
This follows the American format,
https://jakubmarian.com/comma-after-i-e-and-e-g/. There is no intention
of requiring this format for future text, but making existing text
consistent every few years makes sense.
