Customers often get password validation failed errors from our postgres integration/DBM which is often caused by special characters. The line I added is copied directly from the MySQL version of this doc: https://github.com/DataDog/documentation/edit/master/content/en/database_monitoring/setup_mysql/rds.md/

What does this PR do? What is the motivation?

I have had about a half-dozen postgres customers running into issues due to special characters in their passwords

Hi @JakeYankovich this looks good, just a minor suggestion and then looks like product has requested to add this to all the deployment types. Please request re-review when updated, thanks!
