Michael Paquier 03774f9bb3 Improve the description of various GUCs
This commit fixes a couple of inconsistencies in the descriptions of
some GUCs, while making their wording more general regarding the units
they rely on.

For most of them, this removes the use of terms like "N seconds" or "N
bytes", which may not apply easily to all the languages these strings
are translated to (from my own experience, this works in French and
English, less in Japanese).

Per debate between the authors listed below.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download/

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
