Tom Lane 0f47457f11 Remove our artificial PG_SOMAXCONN limit on listen queue length.
I added this in commit 153f40067, out of paranoia about kernels
possibly rejecting very large listen backlog requests.  However,
POSIX has said for decades that the kernel must silently reduce
any value it considers too large, and there's no evidence that
any current system doesn't obey that.  Let's just drop this limit
and save some complication.

While we're here, compute the request as twice MaxConnections not
twice MaxBackends; the latter no longer means what it did in 2001.

Per discussion of a report from Kevin McKibbin.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download/

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
