Update Postgres GUI docs to be explicit about username

Allison Browne requested to merge allison.browne-fix-gui-access-and-provide-headers into master

What does this Merge Request do?

  1. Change recommended GUI to TablePlus
  • pgAdmin does not allow a blank user name.
  • pSequal (the previous suggestion from the docs) is no longer maintained
  • some clients i.e. postico won't connect to psql datafile
  1. Explicitly document that the username should be left blank
  • Since pgAdmin suggests postgres and will not allow a blank username
  1. Add a heading to make it easier to find GUI client instructions
