After looking through this again, I wonder whether there is any reason
why ignore_system_indexes cannot be plain PGC_USERSET. With this
change, we'd allow setting it via ALTER ROLE, but the access to
pg_db_role_setting happens before it. So if there is anything unsafe
about changing ignore_system_indexes, then this would be a problem, but
I don't see anything.
