Presently, the server may emit a variety of log messages when inspecting a runtime-computed GUC, mostly in the shape of one LOG message with the default configuration, related to the startup sequence launched as such GUCs require a load of the control file and of external shared libraries. For example, the server will always emit a "database system is shut down" LOG (unless the user has set log_min_messages higher than LOG), which is an annoying behavior as "postgres -C" is expected to only emit in its output the parameter value we are looking for. The parameter value is sent to stdout, while the logs are sent to stderr so we could recommend to use a redirection, but there was not much love for this workaround either. To avoid such extra log messages, per discussion, this change sets log_min_messages to FATAL internally when -C is used on a runtime-computed GUC (even if set to PANIC in postgresql.conf). At FATAL, the user will still receive messages explaining why a GUC value cannot be inspected, and will know if the command is attempted on a server already running, something not supported yet for a runtime-computed GUC.
