initdb: nothing about template0

The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:

Description:

Is it correct that this page does not contain information about the
template0 database.
The same goes for the "Create Database Cluster" page
(https://www.postgresql.org/docs/14/creating-cluster.html).

Maybe it makes sense to add that template0 is also created when the database
cluster is initialized?

Yeah, this text evidently wasn't updated when we invented template0.
I'll go do something about that --- thanks for the suggestion!
