I believe we still call it the postmaster process. We renamed the binary
a long time ago (commit 5266f221a2), and the above text was changed as
part of that commit. I think that was a mistake, and this should say simply:

... This supervisor process is called <literal>postmaster</literal> and ...

like it did before we renamed the binary.

Barring objections, I'll commit this with that change (as attached).
