Clarify libpq.sgml's description of service file locations and semantics. Avoid use of backtick'ed pg_config calls to describe paths; that doesn't work on Windows, and even on Unix it's an idiom that not all readers may be instantly familiar with. Don't overspecify the locations of include files, instead writing only as much as you'd use in #include directives. The previous text in these places was incorrect for some installations, depending on where "postgresql" is in the install path. Our convention for referencing the user's home directory seems to be "~", so change the one place that spelled it "$HOME". install-windows.sgml follows the platform convention of spelling file paths with "\", so change the one place that used "/".
