doc: Fix descriptions of some PGC_POSTMASTER parameters.

The following parameters can only be set at server start because
their context is PGC_POSTMASTER, but this information was missing
or incorrectly documented. This commit adds or corrects
that information for the following parameters:

* debug_io_direct
* dynamic_shared_memory_type
* event_source
* huge_pages
* io_max_combine_limit
* max_notify_queue_pages
* shared_memory_type
* track_commit_timestamp
* wal_decode_buffer_size

Backpatched to all supported branches.
