Fix to expose a GUC variable, Log_disconnections, to outside of postgres.c

Hi,

I just found that Log_disconnections value has not been
exposed to outside of postgres.c.
Despite that, Log_connections has already been exposed.

So, I'd like to add attached fix to touch the Log_disconnections
value in other modules.

Any comments?

Regards,

Why would an external module need to touch either one?

To check settings of GUC variables from a shared preload
library.

For example, I'd like to print "WARNING ...." in _PG_init()
when some GUC variable is disabled on postmaster startup.

I still have a hard time seeing why an extension would be interested in
Log_disconnections. But hey, extensions do strange things..

You could use GetConfigOption(). I'm not necessarily opposed to exposing
Log_disconnections, but with GetConfigOption() it will work with earlier
versions too.

Definitely. :)

That's it! This is what I'm looking for. Thanks a lot. :)
