Fujii Masao e3da0d4d1a Change ParseConfigFp() so that it doesn't process unused entry of each parameter.
When more than one setting entries of same parameter exist in the
configuration file, PostgreSQL uses only entry appearing last in
configuration file scan. Since the other entries are not used,
ParseConfigFp() doesn't need to process them, but previously it did
that. This problematic behavior caused the configuration file scan
to detect invalid settings of unused entries (e.g., existence of
multiple entries of PGC_POSTMASTER parameter) and log the messages
complaining about them.

This commit changes the configuration file scan so that it processes
only last entry of each parameter.

Note that when multiple entries of same parameter exist both in
postgresql.conf and postgresql.auto.conf, unused entries in
postgresql.conf are still processed only at postmaster startup.

The problem has existed since old version, but a user is more likely
to encounter it since 9.4 where ALTER SYSTEM command was introduced.
So back-patch to 9.4.

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:

	http://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
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
