Hi,

This small doc change patch is following up on a past discussion about
discrepancies between state and wait_event in pg_stat_activity:

https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/ab1c0a7d-e789-5ef5-1180-42708ac6fe2d%40postgrespro.ru

As this kind of question is raised by PG users from time to time, the goal is to
clarify that such discrepancies are to be expected. The attached patch reuses
Robert Haas's eloquent wording from his response in the above thread. I've tried
to keep it short and to the point, but it can be made more verbose if needed.

Best regards,

Alex Friedman
