docs: remove PostgreSQL local setup

Antoine Pietri requested to merge generated-differential-D7686-source into generated-differential-D7686-target

We no longer support exporting the dataset as PostgreSQL dumps. It's pretty much useless for big data analysis; we rather encourage researchers to use big data engine (Hadoop, Hive, Presto...) which all support the ORC format.

Alternatives to import the dataset on PostgreSQL include https://github.com/HighgoSoftware/orc_fdw/ , or using the swh mirroring pipeline to spawn a local storage instance with a PostgreSQL backend.
