Bite the bullet and start showing the buffer settings as a pure number of bytes

There's already some changes needed in this area needed to execute the
full GUC cleanup/wizard plan that's being worked on. The pg_settings view
really should show the value both as the user input it and as it's stored
internally for cases like these, which lowers the confusion here a bit
even without going so far as converting everything to bytes.
