commit    fe441a0319405a52e773e8f3750e925ecc5d86eb

    Handle NULL for short descriptions of custom GUC variables
    
    If a short description is specified as NULL in one of the various
    DefineCustomXXXVariable() functions available to external modules to
    define a custom parameter, SHOW ALL would crash.  This change teaches
    SHOW ALL to properly handle NULL short descriptions, as well as any code
    paths that manipulate it, to gain in flexibility.  Note that
    help_config.c was already able to do that, when describing a set of GUCs
    for postgres --describe-config.
