Change default values for backup and replication parameters

Browse Source 
This changes the default values of the following parameters:

wal_level = replica
max_wal_senders = 10
max_replication_slots = 10

in order to make it possible to make a backup and set up simple
replication on the default settings, without requiring a system restart.
