Handle NULL for short descriptions of custom GUC variables

If a short description is specified as NULL in one of the various
DefineCustomXXXVariable() functions available to external modules to
define a custom parameter, SHOW ALL would crash.  This change teaches
SHOW ALL to properly handle NULL short descriptions, as well as any code
paths that manipulate it, to gain in flexibility.  Note that
help_config.c was already able to do that, when describing a set of GUCs
for postgres --describe-config.
