doc: Remove incorrect libpq environment reference from pg_combinebackup

The Environment section of pg_combinebackup.sgml incorrectly stated
that pg_combinebackup uses libpq environment variables, suggesting
that connection settings such as PGHOST and PGPORT affect its behavior.
However, pg_combinebackup operates on local backup directories and
does not use libpq or connect to a server.

Remove the incorrect paragraph.

Backpatch to 17, where pg_combinebackup was introduced.
