Hi.
In most places, each of the Server Application documentation pages [1]
refers to the directory where the database cluster lives as 'datadir'.
However, a few places called it 'directory' instead.
This patch changes the outliers also to 'datadir', making everything
more consistent.
e.g.
initdb: change in Synopsis and Options
pg_checksums: change in Options
pg_controldata: OK
pg_createsubscriber: change in Options
pg_ctl: OK
pg_resetwal: OK
pg_rewind: change in Synopsis and Options
pg_upgrade: Leave as-is (e.g. configdir may not be the same as datadir)
postgres: OK
PSA patch for details.
