Another thought here: if we do get persuaded that the regex_flavor GUC
has to stay, we could eliminate it as a hazard for planning by changing
its scope to PGC_BACKEND. That would be much less restrictive than
PGC_POSTMASTER; for instance it'd still work to set it for a particular
application via ALTER ROLE.
