Heikki Linnakangas 29ad6595ef doc: Copy-edit the "Overview of PostgreSQL Internals" chapter
Rephrase a few sentences to be more concise.

Refer to the postmaster process as "postmaster", not "postgres". This
originally said "postmaster process", but was changed to "postgres
process" in commit 5266f221a2, when we merged the "postmaster" and
"postgres" commands, and "postmaster" became just a symlink. That was a
case of overzealous search & replace, because the process is still called
"postmaster".

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
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
