The order in this list was previously pretty random and had grown organically over time. This made it unnecessarily cumbersome to maintain these lists, as there was no clear guidelines about where to put new entries. Also, after the merger of the type-specific GUC structs, the list still reflected the previous type-specific super-order. By using alphabetical order, the place for new entries becomes clear, and often related entries will be listed close together. This patch reorders the existing entries in guc_parameters.dat, and it also augments the generation script to error if an entry is found at the wrong place. Note: The order is actually checked after lower-casing, to handle the likes of "DateStyle".
