Document deprecated --wal-directory option for pg_verifybackup

Browse source 
Commit b3cf461b3c renamed --wal-directory to --wal-path but retained
the former as a silent alias.  Per project policy, all options,
including deprecated ones, should be documented to assist users
transitioning between versions.

This patch restores --wal-directory to the documentation and --help
output.
