Log message:
    Cause standalone backend (including bootstrap case) to read the GUC
    config file if it exists.  This was already discussed as being a good
    idea, and now seems the cleanest way to deal with initdb-time failures
    on machines with small SHMMAX.  (The submitted patches instead modified
    initdb.sh to pass the correct sizing parameters, but that would still
    leave standalone backends prone to failure later.  An admin who needs
    to use a standalone backend has enough trouble already, he shouldn't
    have to manually configure its shmem settings...)
