Probably '/' and ':' as well, for krb_server_keyfile.

That will accept strings that start with one kind of quote and end with
another. Please stick to single-quotes only, unless you want to make a
case for the double-quotes.
I'm also not quite sure about

The SQL scanner accepts 'foo''bar' as the SQL-approved method of escaping
quotes in quotes. GUC doesn't do that (way too complicated for now), so
this probably needs to be adjusted.
Other than that, looks good.
