Remove very-obsolete estimates of shmem usage from postgresql.conf.sample.

tglsfdc · tglsfdc · commit 5e7fc462904c · 2016-07-19T18:41:30.000-04:00
runtime.sgml used to contain a table of estimated shared memory consumption rates for max_connections and some other GUCs. Commit 390bfc6 removed that on the well-founded grounds that (a) we weren't maintaining the entries well and (b) it no longer mattered so much once we got out from under SysV shmem limits. But it missed that there were even-more-obsolete versions of some of those numbers in comments in postgresql.conf.sample. Remove those too. Back-patch to 9.3 where the aforesaid commit went in.
