Revert "Add GUC backtrace_on_internal_error"

This reverts commit a740b213d4.

Subsequent discussion showed that there was interest in a more general
facility to configure when server log events would produce backtraces,
and this existing limited way couldn't be extended in a compatible
way.  So the consensus was to revert this for PostgreSQL 17 and
reconsider this topic for PostgreSQL 18.

If this parameter is on and an error with error code XX000 (internal
error; see also <xref linkend="errcodes-appendix"/>) is raised, then a
backtrace is written to the server log together with the error
message. This can be used to debug such internal errors (which should
normally not happen in production). The default is off.
</para>
<para>
Backtrace support is not available on all platforms, and the quality
of the backtraces depends on compilation options.
