Work this one through.
If an admin process goes awry and uses up all the connection slots it
has reached max_connections AND used superuser_reserved_connections as
well.
This means an admin cannot get in to see what is happening.
That's what happens today.
I would much prefer that Superuser 'a' reaches WITH CONNECTION LIMIT for
user 'a' and superuser 'b' can get in to see what is happening.
