Hm.  Do we actually need to worry about this?  It's a PGC_SIGHUP GUC, so it
can only be set at postmaster start or via a configuration file.  Any dump
files that are trying to set it or clients that are trying to add it to
startup packets are already broken.  I guess keeping the GUC around would
avoid breaking any configuration files or startup scripts that happen to be
setting it to false, but I don't know if that's really worth worrying
about.
