Tom Lane f2e14c2a69 Doc: update our docs about kernel IPC parameters on *BSD.
runtime.sgml said that you couldn't change SysV IPC parameters on OpenBSD
except by rebuilding the kernel.  That's definitely wrong in OpenBSD 6.x,
and excavation in their man pages says it changed in OpenBSD 3.3.

Update NetBSD and OpenBSD sections to recommend adjustment of the SEMMNI
and SEMMNS settings, which are painfully small by default on those
platforms.  (The discussion thread contemplated recommending that
people select POSIX semaphores instead, but the performance consequences
of that aren't really clear, so I'll refrain.)

Remove pointless discussion of SEMMNU and SEMMAP from the FreeBSD
section.  Minor other wordsmithing.

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/.
