doc: Clarify CHECKPOINT handling of unlogged buffers
The CHECKPOINT reference page still described checkpoints as flushing
all data files, which could be misleading as it depends on the value
of FLUSH_UNLOGGED option. Update the description to make it clearer
that only data files of permanent relations are flushed by default.

"All data for permanent relations files will be flushed to disk, dirty
buffers of unlogged relations are not flushed unless
<literal>FLUSH_UNLOGGED</literal> is specified."
This doesn't quite read right.
"permanent relations files" should be "permanent relation files"
and the sentence looks like it should end after "flushed to disk",
with "Dirty buffers" being the start of a new sentence.
Regards
Thom
