Thanks for the new version. Per my comments up-thread here, you cannot
actually use PGC_BACKEND:
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/20180919061303.GB19808@paquier.xyz

This would break the case where this parameter is reloaded when a
session does not use a custom value for wal_sender_timeout. I have also
looked at all the code paths using wal_sender_timeout, and the change
looks safe to me. Please find attached an update, simplified, version.
Does that look fine to you?
