Use error message wordings for permissions checks on .pgpass and SSL private
key files that are similar to the one for the postmaster's data directory permissions check. (I chose to standardize on that one since it's the most heavily used and presumably best-wordsmithed by now.) Also eliminate explicit tests on file ownership in these places, since the ensuing read attempt must fail anyway if it's wrong, and there seems no value in issuing the same error message for distinct problems. (But I left in the explicit ownership test in postmaster.c, since it had its own error message anyway.) Also be more specific in the documentation's descriptions of these checks. Per a gripe from Kevin Hunter.
