I know next to nothing about NLS on Windows, but regardless of doc updates for
this I think we should clarify that config.pl may not exist, like how we do for
buildenv.pl.

idle_session_timeout doc

[PG Doc comments form]

The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:

Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/14/runtime-config-client.html
Description:

Is there a way to alter users idle_session_timeout setting?  My
understanding is that it's a global setting.  The last sentence indicates
you can apply an idle session timeout to particular users:

idle_session_timeout (integer)
Terminate any session that has been idle (that is, waiting for a client
query), but not within an open transaction, for longer than the specified
amount of time. If this value is specified without units, it is taken as
milliseconds. A value of zero (the default) disables the timeout.

Unlike the case with an open transaction, an idle session without a
transaction imposes no large costs on the server, so there is less need to
enable this timeout than idle_in_transaction_session_timeout.

Be wary of enforcing this timeout on connections made through
connection-pooling software or other middleware, as such a layer may not
react well to unexpected connection closure. It may be helpful to enable
this timeout only for interactive sessions, perhaps by applying it only to
particular users.

Note in particular the ways of doing this via SQL.

Settings are best considered session-local with the initial value for a
setting in a session determined as described in the docs.

idle_session_timeout is one of many "configuration_parameter"

[Capobianco, Tony]

I have yet to find any instances where idle_session_timeout can be set at the 
session level or applied to a single user.
