Subject: Fix documentation about DROP DATABASE FORCE process termination
 rights.

Specifically, it terminates a background worker even if the caller
couldn't terminate the background worker with pg_terminate_backend().
Commit 3a9b18b3095366cd0c4305441d426d04572d88c1 neglected to update
this.  Back-patch to v13, which introduced DROP DATABASE FORCE.
