Add GUC_LIST_INPUT and GUC_LIST_QUOTE to unix_socket_directories

This should have been done in the initial commit that made
unix_socket_directories a list as of c9b0cbe.  This change allows to
support correctly the case of ALTER SYSTEM, where it is possible to
specify multiple paths as a list, like the following pattern where
flattening is applied to each item:
ALTER SYSTEM SET unix_socket_directories = '/path1', '/path2';

Any parameters specified in postgresql.conf are parsed the same way, so
there is no compatibility change.  pg_dump has a hardcoded list of
parameters marked with GUC_LIST_QUOTE, that gets its routine update.
These are reordered alphabetically for clarity.
