If we will take care of fallback_application_name for contrib modules,
we need to fix not only "pgbench" but also "oid2name" and "dblink".
I think those fixes would be worth; at least for telling third-party
developers to handle the new parameter.
It might be better to set fallback_application_name automatically
in libpq, but it requires argv[0] away from main() function.
GetModuleFilename() is available on Windows for the purpose,
but I don't know what API is available on other platforms.
