Reject "ALTER DATABASE/USER ... RESET foo" with invalid GUC name.
If the database or user had no entry in pg_db_role_setting,
RESET silently did nothing --- including not checking the
validity of the given GUC name. This is quite inconsistent
and surprising, because you *would* get such an error if there
were any pg_db_role_setting entry, even though it contains
values for unrelated GUCs.
While this is clearly a bug, changing it in stable branches seems
unwise. The effect will be that some ALTER commands that formerly
were no-ops will now be errors, and people don't like that sort of
thing in minor releases.
