Yeah, most of what shows up in a minimally-configured installation is
postmaster-computed settings like config_file, rather than things
that were actually set by the DBA. Personally I'd rather hide the
ones that have source = 'override', but that didn't seem to be the
consensus.

I don't think there's any principled thing we could do about that in
psql. The boot_val is a conservatively small 100kB, but we crank
that up automatically based on getrlimit(RLIMIT_STACK), so on any
reasonable platform it's going to show as not being default.
