Improve consistency of error reporting in GUC assign_hook routines. Some

were reporting ERROR for interactive assignments and LOG for other cases,
some were saying nothing for non-interactive cases, and a few did yet other
things.  Make them use a new function GUC_complaint_elevel() to establish
a reasonably uniform policy about how to report.  There are still a few
edge cases such as assign_search_path(), but it's much better than before.
Per gripe from Devrim Gunduz and subsequent discussion.

As noted by Alvaro, it'd be better to fold these custom messages into the
standard "invalid parameter value" complaint from guc.c, perhaps as the DETAIL
field.  However that will require more redesign than seems prudent for 8.3.
This is a relatively safe, low-impact change that we can afford to risk now.

GUC IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
@ -28,16 +28,18 @@ function returns "true" then the assignment is completed; if it returns
performed. If "doit" is false then the function should simply check
validity of newvalue and not change any derived state. The "source" parameter
indicates where the new value came from. If it is >= PGC_S_INTERACTIVE,
then we are performing an interactive assignment (e.g., a SET command).
In such cases it is okay for the assign_hook to raise an error via ereport().
If the function returns false for an interactive assignment then guc.c will
report a generic "invalid value" error message. (An internal ereport() in
an assign_hook is only needed if you want to generate a specialized error
message.) But when source < PGC_S_INTERACTIVE, we are reading a
non-interactive option source, such as postgresql.conf. In this case the
assign_hook should *not* ereport but should just return false if it doesn't
like the newvalue. (An ereport(LOG) call would be acceptable if you feel a
need for a custom complaint in this situation.)
then we are performing an interactive assignment (e.g., a SET command), and
ereport(ERROR) is safe to do. But when source < PGC_S_INTERACTIVE, we are
reading a non-interactive option source, such as postgresql.conf. In this
case the assign_hook should *not* ereport but should just return false if it
doesn't like the newvalue.
If an assign_hook returns false then guc.c will report a generic "invalid
value for option FOO" error message. If you feel the need to provide a more
specific error message, ereport() it using "GUC_complaint_elevel(source)"
as the error level. Note that this might return either ERROR or a lower level
such as LOG, so the ereport call might or might not return. If it does
return, return false out of the assign_hook.
For string variables, the signature for assign hooks is a bit different:
const char *assign_hook(const char *newvalue,
