Mark pg_config() stable rather than immutable
pg_config() has been marked immutable since its inception. As part of a
larger discussion around the definition of immutable versus stable and
related implications for marking functions parallel safe raised by
Andres, the consensus was clearly that pg_config() is stable, since
it could possibly change output even for the same minor version with
a recompile or installation of a new binary. So mark it stable.
Theoretically this could/should be backpatched, but it was deemed to be not
worth the effort since in practice this is very unlikely to cause problems
in the real world.
