Um, it's not clear *when* you need to know this:- application configure time?- application compile time?- application
linktime?- application run time?
 

Of those possibilities, "add a function" responds to only one, and it's
the one I can see least use-case for.  I should think that by run-time
it's probably too late to do much about it other than fail.

You can find out whether thread-safety was mentioned in our configure
settings by looking at the result of pg_config --configure.  This might
be enough for the find-out-at-configure-time case.
