Show a sensible value in pg_settings.unit for GUC_UNIT_XSEGS variables.

Commit 88e9823 invented GUC_UNIT_XSEGS for min_wal_size and max_wal_size, but neglected to make it display sensibly in pg_settings.unit (by adding a case to the switch in GetConfigOptionByNum). Fix that, and adjust said switch to throw a run-time error the next time somebody forgets. In passing, avoid using a static buffer for the output string --- the rest of this function pstrdup's from a local buffer, and I see no very good reason why the units code should do it differently and less safely. Per report from Otar Shavadze. Back-patch to 9.5 where the new unit type was added. Report: <CAG-jOyA=iNFhN+yB4vfvqh688B7Tr5SArbYcFUAjZi=0Exp-Lg@mail.gmail.com>
