FWIW, I don't find much appealing the addition of two GUC flags for
only the sole purpose of that, particularly as we get a stronger
dependency between GUCs that can be switched dynamically at
initialization and at compile-time.

It is a bug fix.  Something I would dare backpatch?  Perhaps not.  The
hardcoded limit of MaxXLogRecordSize makes me feel a bit
uncomfortable, though perhaps we could live with that.
