I noticed Postgres no longer updates the process title on the Hurd, this
is because this was removed along other legacy platforms in this commit
as it was using PS_USE_PS_STRING.

Just doing the same as what Linux does (PS_USE_CLOBBER_ARGV) works, so
I've added the __GNU__ definition to it. Process handling on Linux and
the Hurd are different enough that just changing it to __GLIBC__ would
not be advisable IMV.

Patch attached.

Michael
