Subject: [PATCH] Update 02-local-development.md (#215)

I have added some debugging notes that might save some time for an Arch user setting up Postgres. Specifically, sometimes pacman sets up the database cluster incorrectly and some extra bash commands need to be issued before systemctl can start the service.
