Fix erroneous documentation of synchronous_commit = remote_write.

The docs claimed that this mode only waits for the standby to receive WAL
data, but actually it waits for the data to be written out to the standby's
OS; which is a pretty significant difference because it removes the risk of
crash of the walreceiver process.
