Please add a note that restarting Postgres is required after setting the WAL level to logical

The doc page currently says

Step 1. Prepare the source database

Ensure that the PostgreSQL database is configured for replication. Enable logical replication by setting wal_level to logical in postgresql.conf or in the SQL shell. For example:

ALTER SYSTEM SET wal_level = 'logical';

It is important to note that the above setting will not take effect until the Postgres instance is restarted.
