    Mark pg_config() stable rather than immutable · 290e3b77
    Joe Conway authored
    pg_config() has been marked immutable since its inception. As part of a
    larger discussion around the definition of immutable versus stable and
    related implications for marking functions parallel safe raised by
    Andres, the consensus was clearly that pg_config() is stable, since
    it could possibly change output even for the same minor version with
    a recompile or installation of a new binary. So mark it stable.
    
    Theoretically this could/should be backpatched, but it was deemed to be not
    worth the effort since in practice this is very unlikely to cause problems
    in the real world.
