Let's please NOT call it conf.d if it's living in PGDATA and is not
meant to be edited by hand. conf.d is for a directory of config files
created by users and external utilities, living in CONFIGDIR.

If we're going to have a directory of individual file settings in
PGDATA, let's be consistent with the existing command and call it
"system_set".
