Add new system view, pg_config

Move and refactor the underlying code for the pg_config client
application to src/common in support of sharing it with a new
system information SRF called pg_config() which makes the same
information available via SQL. Additionally wrap the SRF with a
new system view, as called pg_config.

Patch by me with extensive input and review by Michael Paquier
and additional review by Alvaro Herrera.
