Hi.

The pg_controdata docs page [1]https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/app-pgcontroldata.html does not have an "Options" section,
making it strangely different from every other Server Application.

Added an "Options" section for consistency. (patch uses wording
borrowed from initdb)

PSA patch for the same.

The changes look good and are consistent with many other commands like
for example pg_checksums. A clear improvement in consistency.

Aye. I can get behind that as well. That looks also like an
improvement here.
