So let's have a (ugh) fourth GUC that keeps the current name
log_line_prefix and is the default value for all the other vars.
So today's config would continue to work identically, and people wanting
more configurable behavior could get it by simply setting one or more of
the new vars.
The only problem is what would we do when we implement Magnus' idea.
Are we close to that?
