I think the documentation needs to be rewrapped; those are very long lines.

Hardcoding seems reasonable to me, if this is the only place we're doing
string comparison.

Agreed. Or at the very least, follow what's done with
wal_consistency_checking? But I think flag bits would be better.
The tests should be expanded for cases other than 'all'.
As to the failing test cases: it looks like there's a keyword issue with
ALTER SYSTEM and 'all', but trying to fix it by quoting also fails. I
think it's because of GUC_LIST_QUOTE -- is there a reason that's used
here? I don't think we'd need any special characters in future option
names. wal_consistency_checking is very similar, and it just uses
GUC_LIST_INPUT.
Thanks,
