PostgreSQL 9.6 is no longer available through Homebrew. 18 is the latest and seems to work fine with Temporal. Updates instructions to specify current supported version. Also, the text currently instructs you to create user `postgresql` but the commandline actually creates user `root`, which is correct. Updates the text to match the command.

Documentation used for testing Temporal.
Why?
Existing documentation is inaccurate and specifies a version of PostgreSQL that's no longer available through Homebrew nor supported.
How did you test it?
Potential risks
It's conceivable that PostgreSQL v18 suffers from some subtle incompatibility with Temporal that is not obvious from existing integration tests, though this is extremely unlikely.
Furthermore, this will not automatically keep documentation in sync with production Temporal deployments, nor will it keep us up to date in the future once v18 is no longer available. Documentation will need to be updated again in the future.
