One potential problem with this is that we could add more control-file
attributes in the future, and it will be annoying if the view ends up
with a million columns, or if we ever have to rename them.  People who
have created objects that depend on those views may find that
pg_dump/restore or pg_upgrade fail, just as they do when we whack
around pg_stat_activity. pg_settings gets around that using an
EAV-like format.  I'm not sure that's the best solution here, but it's
something to think about.
