This PR aims to improve a gap in our Information Architecture, specifically we are missing a slight clarification paragraph regarding pg_tde's capability to enforce encryption at the database level as well.
To fix this, three chapters have been expanded and improved with additional information around this topic.
Percona-authored extensions provide additional capabilities that go beyond upstream PostgreSQL, enabling advanced observability and data-at-rest encryption. These extensions are developed and maintained by Percona and are designed to integrate seamlessly with Percona Server for PostgreSQL and Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL.

An open-source extension designed to enhance PostgreSQL’s security by encrypting data files on disk. The encryption is transparent for users, allowing them to access and manipulate data without managing encryption details.
You can also use `pg_tde` to enforce encryption at the database level, ensuring that all newly created data is encrypted without requiring per-table changes.

These modifications have no impact on existing use cases and operation of PostgreSQL. They are required to enable additional encryption capabilities such as index-level and Write-Ahead Logging (WAL) encryption of indexes through the [`pg_tde` :octicons-link-external-16:](https://docs.percona.com/pg-tde/index.html) extension. These encryption features provided by the `pg_tde` are still under active development and are planned for future releases.
