 *
 * Returns a table of all parameter settings in all configuration files
 * which includes the config file pathname, the line number, a sequence number
 * indicating the order in which the settings were encountered, the parameter
 * name and value, a bool showing if the value could be applied, and possibly
 * an associated error message.  (For problems such as syntax errors, the
 * parameter name/value might be NULL.)
 *
 * Note: no filtering is done here, instead we depend on the GRANT system
 * to prevent unprivileged users from accessing this function or the view
 * built on top of it.
