OK, I understood that even if the string is not rendered, that should be tagged as <productname>.

I have also grepped to detect another wrong markups, and I think at least
"<entry>PostgreSQL</entry>" should be changed. PSA the patch.

```
$ grep -rI \>PostgreSQL\< | grep -v productname
config.sgml:        the log. The default is <literal>PostgreSQL</literal>.
func.sgml:        <returnvalue>PostgreSQL</returnvalue>
func.sgml:        <entry>PostgreSQL</entry>
runtime.sgml:   event source named <literal>PostgreSQL</literal>.
problems.sgml:   The software package in total is called <quote>PostgreSQL</quote>,
ref/pg_ctl-ref.sgml:       default is <literal>PostgreSQL</literal>.  Note that this only controls
ref/pg_ctl-ref.sgml:       source name <literal>PostgreSQL</literal>.
ref/pg_ctl-ref.sgml:       The default is <literal>PostgreSQL</literal>.
```
