Revert "docs: change "default role" wording to "predefined role""
This reverts commit 0e936a2148472e6c364aee8c3e298dc16dc4240a. Per discussion, we can't change the section title without some web-site work, so revert this change temporarily. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/157742545062.1149.11052653770497832538@wrigleys.postgresql.org
