At Tom Lane's suggestion, I am adding a field to pg_control to hold the compile-time configuration of timestamp and time storage.
I notice that the compile-time locale settings are registered in that same structure. And that they depend on NAMEDATALEN, which is *not* in that structure. istm that it should be, and I'll go ahead and add it barring objections.
