Show a sensible value in pg_settings.unit for GUC_UNIT_XSEGS variables.

Commit 88e982302 invented GUC_UNIT_XSEGS for min_wal_size and max_wal_size,
but neglected to make it display sensibly in pg_settings.unit (by adding a
case to the switch in GetConfigOptionByNum).  Fix that, and adjust said
switch to throw a run-time error the next time somebody forgets.

In passing, avoid using a static buffer for the output string --- the rest
of this function pstrdup's from a local buffer, and I see no very good
reason why the units code should do it differently and less safely.

Per report from Otar Shavadze.  Back-patch to 9.5 where the new unit type
was added.
