Hi hackers,

While investigating codes related with the permissions, I found the below
description in the pg_ctl.

```
-l filename
--log=3Dfilename
Append the server log output to filename. If the file does not exist, it is=
 created. The umask is set to 077, so access to the log file is disallowed =
to other users by default.
```

But users who are in the same group can also see the log if group permissio=
ns are
enabled on the data directory. It was extended by c37b3d0 but updating the =
doc seemed
to be missed. Attached patch can fix the issue.

Best regards,
Hayato Kuroda
