and in 'comment' part, mention that comments on columns can be seen with \d+

so from 'Comments can be viewed using psql's \d family of commands.' to
something like 'Comments can be viewed using psql's \d family of commands.
To see comments on columns, use \d+ table_name command, for comment on the
table itself, use \dt+ table_name command'.

The comment SQL page shouldn’t go and try to document how the \d commands behave.  The psql page should do that.  If something is lacking fix it there and maybe fix the pointer here to that new section.
