Improve the documentation about commit_delay.
Clarify the docs explaining what commit_delay does, and add a
recommendation about a useful value for it, namely half of the single-page
fsync time reported by pg_test_fsync. This is informed by testing of
the new-in-9.3 implementation of commit_delay; in prior versions it
was far harder to arrive at a useful setting.
In passing, do some wordsmithing and markup-fixing in the same general
area.
Also, change pg_test_fsync's default time-per-test from 2 seconds to 5.
The old value was about the minimum at which the results could be taken
seriously at all, and so seems a tad optimistic as a default.
