Thread: stats_temp_directory SIGHUP documentation bug

Commit be8d6c5c3 made stats_temp_directory SIGHUP, but this isn't
fully reflected in the docs. "18.9. Run-time Statistics" still says:
"This parameter can only be set in the postgresql.conf file or on the
server command line". This should be fixed.

How should we fix that? ISTM that the document always says that for
the parameters with PGC_SIGHUP.

I think my expectation was that the documentation differentiate
between PGC_SIGHUP and PGC_POSTMASTER for cases like this. But I
forgot that the *absence* of "This parameter can only be set at server
start" is generally how this is indicated, so I withdraw my complaint.

Thanks
