However the title of Todo Item suggests it needs to be done for dblink as well.
Please suggest if it needs to be done for dblink, if yes then what should be fallback_application_name for it?

This patch is to provide support for fallback application name for contrib/pgbench, oid2name, and dblink.
Currently I have done the implementation for pgbench. The implementation is same as in psql.
Before creating a final patch, I wanted to check whether my direction for creating a patch is what is expected from this Todo item.
I have done the basic testing for following 2 scenario's
1. After implementation, if during run of pgbench, we query pg_stat_activity it displays the application name as pgbench
2. It displays the application name in log file also.
