A simple approach could be to just set log_min_messages to PANIC before
exiting. I've attached a patch for this. With this patch, we'll still see
a FATAL if we try to use 'postgres -C' for a runtime-computed GUC on a
running server, and there will be no extra output as long as the user sets
log_min_messages to INFO or higher (i.e., not a DEBUG* value). For
comparison, 'postgres -C' for a non-runtime-computed GUC does not emit
extra output as long as the user sets log_min_messages to DEBUG2 or higher.
