Expand comment for isset_offset.
This field was added in commit
0164a0f9ee to provide a way to
determine whether a storage parameter was explicitly set for the
relation or if it just picked up the default value. In most cases,
this can be accomplished by giving the storage parameter a special
out-of-range default value (e.g., the
autovacuum_vacuum_insert_threshold storage parameter defaults to
-2), but this approach doesn't work in all cases. For example, a
Boolean storage parameter cannot be given an out-of-range default,
so we need another way to discover the source of its value.
