The real reason why we changed this is that nobody (except Simon) sees
a situation where unconditional logging of successful replication
connections is especially helpful.  If you were trying to diagnose a
problem you would more likely need to know about *failed* connections,
but the code that was in there didn't provide that.  At least not unless
you turned on log_connections ...
