Got it.

I tried putting the prototype in miscadmin.h, and I now agree that
that's the best way to do it -- that's how I do it in the attached
revision. No other changes.

The v4-0001-Remove-hashagg_avoid_disk_plan-GUC.patch changes are
surprisingly complicated. It would be nice if you could take a look at
that aspect (or confirm that it's included in your review).
