Not sure that there is anything to gain with this assertion in
CreateSharedMemoryAndSemaphores(), because this is pretty much what
check_GUC_init() looks after?

The choice of this location is critical, because this is just *after*
we've tried huge pages, but *before* doing the fallback mmap() call
when the huge page allocation was on "try". I think that this
deserves a comment.

Hmm. I still think that it is cleaner to move that at the end of
PGSharedMemoryCreate() for the WIN32 case. There are also few FATALs
in-between, which would make SetConfigOption() useless if there is an
in-flight problem.
Don't we need to update save_backend_variables() and add an entry
in BackendParameters to make other processes launched by EXEC_BACKEND
inherit the status value set?
