Restart Postgres service if not listening on TCP
What does this MR do?
When switching Postgres from sockets to TCP, it is necessary to restart the PostgreSQL service before GitLab can connect to it. If this isn't done, the reconfigure will likely fail as a result.
This is also documented in our Omnibus instructions for switching PostgreSQL to TCP https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/settings/database.html#apply-and-restart-services
Adding this caveat in the Chart docs as well. I thought it was best to copy the relevant content into the Chart docs, but let me know if a link would be preferable and I can go back and fix it up.

Author's checklist (required)
-
Follow the Documentation Guidelines and Style Guide. - If you have
developer
access or higher (for example, GitLab team members or Core Team members)-
Apply the documentation label, plus: - development guidelines and Description templates (.gitlab/*) when creating/updating issue and MR description templates.
-
Assign the designated Technical Writer.
-
Do not add the ~"feature", frontend, backend, ~"bug", or database labels if you are only updating documentation. These labels will cause the MR to be added to code verification QA issues.
When applicable:
-
Link docs to and from the higher-level index page, plus other related docs where helpful. -
Add GitLab's version history note(s). -
Add the product tier badge. -
If you're changing document headings, search doc/*
,app/views/*
, andee/app/views/*
for old headings replacing with the new ones to avoid broken anchors.
