some config options do not have defaults documented

I just noticed that logging_collector does not have its default value
documented.  I checked and other settings were also missing defaults.
Do we have a policy that they should all be documented, or is this
intentional?

I think if the default value isn't pretty obvious, it should be
documented.  Offhand I would've said most or all GUC descriptions
already did include it.
