Subject: [PATCH] Force certain "pljava" custom GUCs to be PGC_SUSET.
Future PL/Java versions will close CVE-2016-0766 by making these GUCs
PGC_SUSET. This PostgreSQL change independently mitigates that PL/Java
vulnerability, helping sites that update PostgreSQL more frequently than
PL/Java. Back-patch to 9.1 (all supported versions).
Upstream-Status: Backport
