Done.

I've left it alone for now. I thought about adding something like
"pg_database_owner does not provide any special capabilities or access
out-of-the-box" to the beginning of the entry, but I don't have time at the
moment to properly wordsmith the rest. If anyone else wants to give it a
try before I get to it (probably tomorrow), please be my guest. TBH I
think the existing content is pretty good, so I'm not opposed to leaving it
alone, even if the style is different than the other entries.
