Formerly we were pretty lax about what a custom GUC's name could be; so long as it had at least one dot in it, we'd take it. However, corner cases such as dashes or equal signs in the name would cause various bits of functionality to misbehave. Rather than trying to make the world perfectly safe for that, let's just require that custom names look like "identifier.identifier", where "identifier" means something that scan.l would accept without double quotes. Along the way, this patch refactors things slightly in guc.c so that find_option() is responsible for reporting GUC-not-found cases, allowing removal of duplicative code from its callers. Per report from Hubert Depesz Lubaczewski. No back-patch, since the consequences of the problem don't seem to warrant changing behavior in stable branches.
