Update documentation on may/can/might:
...
Standard English uses "may", "can", and "might" in different ways:
may - permission, "You may borrow my rake."
can - ability, "I can lift that log."
might - possibility, "It might rain today."
Unfortunately, in conversational English, their use is often mixed, as
in, "You may use this variable to do X", when in fact, "can" is a better
choice. Similarly, "It may crash" is better stated, "It might crash".
Also update two error messages mentioned in the documenation to match.

Define a separately configurable XLOG_BLCKSZ symbol for the page size
...
used within WAL files. Historically this was the same as the data file
BLCKSZ, but there's no necessary connection, and it's possible that
performance gains might ensue from reducing XLOG_BLCKSZ. In any case
distinguishing two symbols should improve code clarity. This commit
does not actually change the page size, only provide the infrastructure
to make it possible to do so. initdb forced because of addition of a
field to pg_control.
Mark Wong, with some help from Simon Riggs and Tom Lane.
