doc: Improve output_plugin_libraries documentation

Describe the effects of removing the builtin plugins from
output_plugin_libraries. It may not be obvious to DBAs why they might
want to keep those in the allowlist, since it wasn't previously possible
to pick and choose plugins without modifying the Postgres installation
itself.
