BTW, this line looks cumbersome.

+DETAIL: Valid values are between "0.000000" and
"179769313486231570814527423731704356798070567525844996598917476803157260780028538760589558632766878171540458953514382464234321326889464182768467546703537516986049910576551282076245490090389328944075868508455133942304583236903222948165808559332123348274797826204144723168738177180919299881250404026184124858368.000000".

It's not something introduced by this patch, because other reloptions
behave the same. Should we change output format for real reloption
boundaries to '%g' (as guc.c does). It looks much better.

ERROR: -1 is outside the valid range for parameter "random_page_cost"
