Draft: PostgreSQL 13 replaced wal_keep_segments

Ben Prescott_ requested to merge code-bprescott/20230530-wal_keep_segments into master

What does this MR do?

this merge request is not applicable

see: #7841 (closed)


PostgreSQL13 removed a config entry.

LOG:  unrecognized configuration parameter "wal_keep_segments" in file "/var/opt/gitlab/postgresql/data/runtime.conf"

Since PG13 is now the default the template no longer requires the old value

My testing indicates that the default in Omnibus PostgreSQL is:

postgresql['wal_keep_size'] = '160MB'

So I supplied that in the config change.
