Michael Paquier bbd4951b73 doc: Improve postgres command for shared_memory_size_in_huge_pages
The command used in the documentation to retrieve the value of the
runtime-computed GUC shared_memory_size_in_huge_pages would also show to
the user all the log messages generated by the postmaster before and
after printing the wanted value.  This can be confusing, as the wanted
result could be masked with a lot of noise.

One way to avoid those log messages is to use something like "-c
log_min_messages=fatal" in the command (my idea, but that's not common
knowledge).  Rather than mentioning this option, suffix the command with
a redirection of stderr to /dev/null, which is the stream location where
the logs show up.  This is enough to show only the GUC value to the
user when copy-pasting the command.

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/.
