pgsql: Make path to pg_service.conf absolute in documentation

The system file is always in the absolute path /etc/, not relative.

This change is incorrect. pg_service.conf is never at
/etc/pg_service.conf. It would be at /etc/postgresql/pg_service.conf,
if you configured with --sysconfdir=/etc.

I think the intent of the original wording was that it was in the etc
directory relative to the installation root. I think that is more
correct than claiming that it is always in one particular location.

There was a long discussion about this on -hackers a week or so ago. I'm
not sure what the outcome was - it seemed rather messy.
