Josh Smeaton 6e195b800a Fixed #35267 -- Clarified time zone topic for PostgreSQL in docs.
The timezone documentation for Postgres mentions the behavior of
time zone conversion, but links to the wrong setting that controls the
behavior.

Postgres will not return datetimes in the time zone set by the
TIME_ZONE setting, but rather the time zone of the database connection,
which is defined by DATABASES.TIME_ZONE setting falling back to UTC.

This corrects the link in the documentation and adds note that there
are two distinct TIME_ZONE settings and the one most are familiar with
is not considered for PostgreSQL time zone conversion.

======
Django
======

Django is a high-level Python web framework that encourages rapid development
and clean, pragmatic design. Thanks for checking it out.

All documentation is in the "``docs``" directory and online at
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/. If you're just getting started,
here's how we recommend you read the docs:

* First, read ``docs/intro/install.txt`` for instructions on installing Django.

* Next, work through the tutorials in order (``docs/intro/tutorial01.txt``,
  ``docs/intro/tutorial02.txt``, etc.).

* If you want to set up an actual deployment server, read
  ``docs/howto/deployment/index.txt`` for instructions.

* You'll probably want to read through the topical guides (in ``docs/topics``)
  next; from there you can jump to the HOWTOs (in ``docs/howto``) for specific
  problems, and check out the reference (``docs/ref``) for gory details.

* See ``docs/README`` for instructions on building an HTML version of the docs.

Docs are updated rigorously. If you find any problems in the docs, or think
they should be clarified in any way, please take 30 seconds to fill out a
ticket here: https://code.djangoproject.com/newticket
