Simplify description of --data-checksums in documentation of initdb

initialization, which is not true as pg_checksums can do that with its
--enable option introduced in v12.  This simply removes the sentence
telling so.

Use checksums on data pages to help detect corruption by the

may incur a noticeable performance penalty. This option can only
be set during initialization, and cannot be changed later. If
set, checksums are calculated for all objects, in all databases. All
