Fujii Masao c2e5f4d1c1 Make wal_compression PGC_SUSET rather than PGC_USERSET.
When enabling wal_compression, there is a risk to leak data similarly to
the BREACH and CRIME attacks on SSL where the compression ratio of
a full page image gives a hint of what is the existing data of this page.
This vulnerability is quite cumbersome to exploit in practice, but doable.

So this patch makes wal_compression PGC_SUSET in order to prevent
non-superusers from enabling it and exploiting the vulnerability while
DBA thinks the risk very seriously and disables it in postgresql.conf.

Back-patch to 9.5 where wal_compression was introduced.
