correct documentation in set role
The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:
Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/16/sql-set-role.html
Description:
it is good to mention that:
The specified role_name must be a role that the current session user is a
member of "and has SET True option on it."
The second part missed in documentation for set role command.
