Fix Postgres imports going to the matrix DB by default

Well, they still do go to that DB by default,
but our docs give a better command to users, which would do the right
thing.

We specify the `synapse` database as the default import database. If your dump is a single-database dump (`pg_dump`), then we need to tell it where to go to. If you're redefining `matrix_synapse_database_database` to something other than `synapse`, please adjust it here too. For database dumps spanning multiple databases (`pg_dumpall`), you can remove the `postgres_default_import_database` definition (but it doesn't hurt to keep it too).
**Note**: `<server-path-to-postgres-dump.sql>` must be a file path to a Postgres dump file on the server (not on your local machine!). **Note**: `<server-path-to-postgres-dump.sql>` must be a file path to a Postgres dump file on the server (not on your local machine!).
