    Doc: clarify location of libpq's default service file on Windows. · 3a8d83ca
    Tom Lane authored
    The documentation didn't specify the name of the per-user service file
    on Windows, and extrapolating from the pattern used for other config
    files gave the wrong answer.  The fact that it isn't consistent with the
    others sure seems like a bug, but it's far too late to change that now;
    we'd just penalize people who worked it out in the past.  So, simply
    document the true state of affairs.
    
    In passing, fix some gratuitous differences between the discussions
    of the service file and the password file.
    
    Julien Rouhaud, per question from Dominique Devienne.
    
    Backpatch to all supported branches.  I (tgl) also chose to back-patch
    the part of commit ba356a39 that touched libpq.sgml's description of
    the service file --- in hindsight, I'm not sure why I didn't do so at
    the time, as it includes some fairly essential information.
