Bring some clarity to the defaults for the xxx_flush_after parameters.
Instead of confusingly stating platform-dependent defaults for these parameters in the comments in postgresql.conf.sample (with the main entry being a lie on Linux), teach initdb to install the correct platform-dependent value in postgresql.conf, similarly to the way we handle other platform-dependent defaults. This won't do anything for existing 9.6 installations, but since it's effectively only a documentation improvement, that seems OK. Since this requires initdb to have access to the default values, move the #define's for those to pg_config_manual.h; the original placement in bufmgr.h is unworkable because that file can't be included by frontend programs. Adjust the default value for wal_writer_flush_after so that it is 1MB regardless of XLOG_BLCKSZ, conforming to what is stated in both the SGML docs and postgresql.conf. (We could alternatively make it scale with XLOG_BLCKSZ, but I'm not sure I see the point.) Copy-edit related SGML documentation. Fabien Coelho and Tom Lane, per a gripe from Tomas Vondra.
