doc: Clarify that \d and \d+ output lists are illustrative, not exhaustive. The psql documentation for the \d and \d+ meta-commands lists objects that may be shown, but previously the wording could be read as exhaustive even though additional objects can also appear in the output. This commit clarifies the description by adding phrasing such as "for example" or "such as", making it clear that the listed objects are illustrative rather than a complete list. While the change is small, it helps avoid potential user confusion. As this is a documentation clarification rather than a bug fix, it is not backpatched.
