Having one doesn't imply we don't have the other. I believe we should
definitely have both the --check-config (to address Tom's concern, and
to improve the user experience when doing an /etc/init.d/postgresql
reload or similar) and the check done in the postmaster and have it only
update the running config if the config file parsed correctly.
