Subject: [PATCH 1/3] warn when setting GUC to a nonextant library

Note that warnings shouldn't be issued during startup (only fatals):

$ ./tmp_install/usr/local/pgsql/bin/postgres -D ./testrun/regress/regress/tmp_check/data -c shared_preload_libraries=ab
2023-07-06 14:47:03.817 CDT postmaster[2608106] FATAL:  could not access file "ab": No existe el archivo o el directorio
2023-07-06 14:47:03.817 CDT postmaster[2608106] CONTEXT:  while loading shared libraries for setting "shared_preload_libraries"
