Add SETTINGS option to EXPLAIN, to print modified settings.

Query planning is affected by a number of configuration options, and it
may be crucial to know which of those options were set to non-default
values. With this patch you can say EXPLAIN (SETTINGS ON) to include
that information in the query plan. Only options affecting planning,
with values different from the built-in default are printed.

This patch also adds auto_explain.log_settings option, providing the
same capability in auto_explain module.
