For large table adjustments during VACUUM FULL, it is faster to cluster

Provide a build-time option to store large relations as single files, rather

than dividing them into 1GB segments as has been our longtime practice. This
requires working support for large files in the operating system; at least for
the time being, it won't be the default.

Implement enum type for guc parameters, and convert a couple of existing
...
variables to it. More need to be converted, but I wanted to get this in
before it conflicts with too much...
Other than just centralising the text-to-int conversion for parameters,
this allows the pg_settings view to contain a list of available options
and allows an error hint to show what values are allowed.

Remove postmaster.c's check that NBuffers is at least twice MaxBackends.
...
With the addition of multiple autovacuum workers, our choices were to delete
the check, document the interaction with autovacuum_max_workers, or complicate
the check to try to hide that interaction. Since this restriction has never
been adequate to ensure backends can't run out of pinnable buffers, it doesn't
really have enough excuse to live to justify the second or third choices.
Per discussion of a complaint from Andreas Kling (see also bug #3888 ).
This commit also removes several documentation references to this restriction,
but I'm not sure I got them all.
