One way to do that would be to have a system-wide configuration file
like /usr/local/pgsql/etc/postgresql/postgresql.conf, which in turn
includes /usr/local/pgsql/etc/postgresql/postgreql.conf.d/*, and have
the add-on package install its configuration file with the setting jit =
on there.
Then again, if we want to make it simpler, just link the whole thing in
and turn it on by default and be done with it.
Presumably, there will be planner-level knobs to model the jit startup
time, and if you don't like it, you can set that very high to disable
it. So we don't necessarily need a separate turn-it-off-it's-broken
setting.
