Fix documentation & config inconsistencies around 428b1d6b2.

Browse Source 
Several issues:
1) checkpoint_flush_after doc and code disagreed about the default
2) new GUCs were missing from postgresql.conf.sample
3) Outdated source-code comment about bgwriter_flush_after's default
4) Sub-optimal categories assigned to new GUCs
5) Docs suggested backend_flush_after is PGC_SIGHUP, but it's PGC_USERSET.
6) Spell out int as integer in the docs, as done elsewhere
