doc: Improve pg_stat_recovery documentation

Improve the documentation for pg_stat_recovery in several ways:

- Mention the view in high-availability.sgml as a way to monitor
  recovery state and replay progress, alongside the existing recovery
  information functions.
- Clarify that the view returns at most one row, not exactly one row,
  and no rows to users who lack the pg_read_all_stats privilege.
- Correct the description of last_replayed_end_lsn to clarify that it
  is the end LSN of the last replayed record plus one.
- Document that replay_end_tli equals last_replayed_tli when no WAL
  record is currently being replayed.
- Clarify that current_chunk_start_time is NULL until streaming WAL
  has been received.

Backpatch to v19, where pg_stat_recovery was introduced.
