This was briefly mentioned upthread, but I'm a little concerned that this
doesn't respond to commands like SET TRANSACTION READ ONLY.  I wonder if we
should mark transaction_read_only as GUC_REPORT and use that instead.  FWIW
I see that we marked search_path as GUC_REPORT somewhat recently (see
commit 28a1121).
