I took a look at where these options are discussed in the documentation and
now feel that we should make these options clear more broadly (config and
libpq, plus pointing to --name from -c in a couple of places).  It doesn't
add much verbosity and, frankly, if I was to pick one "--name=value" would
win and so I'd rather document it, leaving -c alone for historical reasons.

I've attached a replacement patch with the additional changes.
