Hi, hackers
When I setup a stream replication I found that the documentation says that promote_trigger_file
parameter can only be set in the postgresql.conf file or on the server command line, however, it
can also be put into postgresql.auto.conf. If I use include to import a new config, it works too.
There are many parameters use this description:
$ grep 'This parameter can only be set in the' -rn doc/
doc/src/sgml/sepgsql.sgml:273: This parameter can only be set in the <filename>postgresql.conf</filename>

I think this description is misleading. we should correct it, isn't it?
