If you think those parameters would make more sense in pg_hba.conf,
let's just move them and be done with it.  There has never been any
intention that administrator-only GUCs would be promised compatible
across versions.  And the GUC mechanism is really rather a lot of
overhead compared to options on a pg_hba line ...
