Try to minimize the work done in the postmaster process for each accepted connection, so that postmaster can quickly proceed with its duties. These function calls are very fast so this doesn't make any measurable performance difference in practice, but it's nice to have all the socket options initialization code in one place for sake of readability too. This also paves the way for an upcoming commit that will move the initialization of the Port struct to the child process.
