varname for GUC variables

I have applied the attached patch to use <varname> SGML markup
consistently for GUC variables. Should we be using <xref> to link to
more GUC details in the docs?

For the most part I think we do have enough links. In particular I do
*not* want to see multiple references to the same variable in the same
paragraph all turned into links; that's just distracting.

True on the multiple instances in a paragraph. I will drop it unless
someone feels we need more. Thanks.
