Michael Paquier d392e9bdea Clarify documentation about PASSWORD in CREATE/ALTER ROLE
The documentation of CREATE/ALTER ROLE has been missing two things
related to PASSWORD:
- The password value provided needs to be quoted, some places of the
documentation marked the field with quotes, but not others, which led to
confusion.
- PASSWORD NULL was not provided consistently, with ENCRYPTED being not
compatible with it.

<title>Description</title>
<para>
<command>CREATE USER</command> is now an alias for
<xref linkend="sql-createrole"/>.
The only difference is that when the command is spelled
<command>CREATE USER</command>, <literal>LOGIN</literal> is assumed
by default, whereas <literal>NOLOGIN</literal> is assumed when
the command is spelled
<command>CREATE ROLE</command>.
</para>

<title>Compatibility</title>
<para>
The <command>CREATE USER</command> statement is a
<productname>PostgreSQL</productname> extension. The SQL standard
leaves the definition of users to the implementation.
