It seems plausible that someone might want to experiment with different values. The pressing reason though is that I'm reviewing a patch that requires pg_upgrade to manipulate SLRU files. That patch needs to access SLRU_PAGES_PER_SEGMENT from pg_upgrade code, and slru.h, where SLRU_PAGES_PER_SEGMENT is currently defined, cannot be included from frontend code. Moving it to pg_config_manual.h makes it accessible. Now that it's a little more likely that someone might change SLRU_PAGES_PER_SEGMENT, add a cluster compatibility check for it. Bump catalog version because of the new field in the control file.
