Doc: clarify behavior of ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES ... IN SCHEMA.

The existing text stated that "Default privileges that are specified
per-schema are added to whatever the global default privileges are for
the particular object type".  However, that bare-bones observation is
not quite clear enough, as demonstrated by the complaint in bug #16124.
Flesh it out by stating explicitly that you can't revoke built-in
default privileges this way, and by providing an example to drive
the point home.

Back-patch to all supported branches, since it's been like this
from the beginning.
