That seems an excessively random choice of character for CONNECT
privilege.  I see that 'C' is already taken, but we could use 'c'.

It's just something we do to avoid bogus bug reports from people
who haven't initdb'd after something that requires a catalog change.
In this case, since the system would stop working (or at least stop
letting you connect) if you hadn't initdb'd, I think a catversion
bump is indicated.
