Add missing assign hook for GUC checkpoint_completion_target

This is wrong since 88e9823, that has switched the WAL sizing
configuration from checkpoint_segments to min_wal_size and
max_wal_size.  This missed the recalculation of the internal value of
the internal "CheckPointSegments", that works as a mapping of the old
GUC checkpoint_segments, on reload, for example, and it controls the
timing of checkpoints depending on the volume of WAL generated.

Most users tend to leave checkpoint_completion_target at 0.9 to smooth
the I/O workload, which is why I guess this has gone unnoticed for so
long, still it can be useful to tweak and reload the value dynamically
in some cases to control the timing of checkpoints.
