Adjust documentation for configuring Linux huge pages.
The present wording about viewing shared_memory_size_in_huge_pages
seems to suggest that the parameter cannot be viewed after startup
at all, whereas the intent is to make it clear that you can't use
"postgres -C" to view this parameter while the server is running.
This commit rephrases this section to remove the ambiguity.
