There are a number of settings that should be database-specific IMO.
Ideally this might be specific at an even lower level than database,
since one database might span multiple filesystems (mine's about 4TB,
and it currently spans a 2TB spinner and a 4TB SATA SSD).

But I think we should take a closer look at the settings dialog and
think about what really belongs in KPA settings vs. database settings,
and consider whether we want to store the database settings in the
database proper.
