Обсуждение: Beautify pg_walinspect docs a bit

Hi,

As discussed [1], here's a patch to beautify pg_walinspect docs
similar to pageinspect docs. The existing pg_walinspect docs calls out
the column names explicitly and then also shows them in the function
execution examples which is duplicate and too informative. Also \x
isn't used so some of the execution outputs are out of indentation.

Thoughts?

Thanks, this looked basically fine, so applied.  I have tweaked a few
sentences while reviewing the docs, while on it.  I have decided to
remove the example where we specify per_record=true for
pg_get_wal_stats(), as it does not bring much value while bloating the
whole, and the parameter is clearly documented.

It looks like 58597ed accidentally added an "end_lsn" to the docs for
pg_get_wal_stats_till_end_of_wal().

Indeed.  Fixed, thanks!
