psql: Reword help message and docs for WATCH_INTERVAL
Reword the documentation around the default value to make interaction between WATCH_INTERVAL and the \watch command clearer. While there, also remove a stray parenthesis left over from a previous version of the patch. Reported-by: Peter Eisentraut <peter@eisentraut.org> Reviewed-by: David G. Johnston <david.g.johnston@gmail.com> Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/c34a650b-6f8b-4da7-9ebb-b6df03ce009d@eisentraut.org
