I was thinking of adding a GUC_READONLY bit to the config struct's flags
word, instead. A PGC_ value that doesn't correspond to any possible
SetConfig context seems a little off key, somehow. But it might be
worth adding a PGC_INITDB value to GucContext also ... otherwise there's
no good value to put in the context field for these variables.
Possibly Peter will have a different thought about how it should be
done.
