This paragraph has been added in the documentation byf6f0db4, but after more discussion we found that this just makes things more confusing, adding some cross-references between a general feature and something only aimed at being used by developers. The original documentation is not wrong either, and this commit brings back this part of the docs to the same state as beforef6f0db4. Per discussion with Kyotaro Horiguchi and Thomas Munro.

This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download/ See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions.
