    doc: Fix description of some GUCs in docs and postgresql.conf.sample
    
    The following parameters have been imprecise, or incorrect, about their
    description (PGC_POSTMASTER or PGC_SIGHUP):
    - autovacuum_work_mem (docs, as of 9.6~)
    - huge_page_size (docs, as of 14~)
    - max_logical_replication_workers (docs, as of 10~)
    - max_sync_workers_per_subscription (docs, as of 10~)
    - min_dynamic_shared_memory (docs, as of 14~)
    - recovery_init_sync_method (postgresql.conf.sample, as of 14~)
    - remove_temp_files_after_crash (docs, as of 14~)
    - restart_after_crash (docs, as of 9.6~)
    - ssl_min_protocol_version (docs, as of 12~)
    - ssl_max_protocol_version (docs, as of 12~)
    
    This commit adjusts the description of all these parameters to be more
    consistent with the practice used for the others.
