We were independently checking ReservedBackends < MaxConnections and max_wal_senders < MaxConnections, but because walsenders aren't allowed to use superuser-reserved connections, that's really the wrong thing. Correct behavior is to insist on ReservedBackends + max_wal_senders being less than MaxConnections. Fix the code and associated documentation. This has been wrong for a long time, but since the situation probably hardly ever arises in the field (especially pre-v10, when the default for max_wal_senders was zero), no back-patch.
