This initdb output seems, well, kinda fake, which it is by its own
admission.  Could we do this less fake maybe like this:

     selecting default "max_connections", "autovacuum_worker_slots" ... 100, 16

with the actual wait at the "..."?

(It doesn't seem impossible that someone will want to add more default
selecting for various worker or process slots, and this would allow adding
these easily, versus adding more "fake" output lines.)
