    doc: Fix primary status update WAL position description
    
    Commit 5f3a49abf7f changed the primary status update message to report the
    end of the last inserted WAL record instead of the WAL write position.
    However, the protocol documentation still described the WAL position field as
    the latest WAL write position, which no longer matches the message sent by
    walsender.
    
    Update the description of the WAL position field to indicate the end of the
    last inserted WAL record, matching the implementation.
