Copy-edit text for the pg_terminate_backend() "timeout" parameter.
Revert the pg_description entry to its v13 form, since those messages usually remain shorter and don't discuss individual parameters. No catversion bump, since pg_description content does not impair backend compatibility or application compatibility.
