Add runtime configuration option "silent_mode".

This is equivalent to postmaster's -S option.

+       Runs postmaster silently. If this option is set, postmaser
+        will automatically run in background and any controlling ttys
+        are disassociated, thus no message is put to stdout or
+        stderr(same effect as postmaster's -S option). Unless some
+        logging systems such as syslog is enabled, using this option
+        is discouraged since it makes difficult to find error
+        messages.
