Yeah, that works for me. It doesn't allow for having just one
set_ps_display() call ahead of the switch, but that isn't that
big a loss. We cannot merge the EndReplicationCommand calls to
after the switch, because some of the cases don't want one here;
so that partial duplication is inescapable.
Note that your changes need to be backpatched into v13,
because AFAICS this code is violating the FE/BE protocol
right now --- it's just luck that libpq isn't moaning
about extra CommandComplete messages. But I don't think
we want to change the ps title behavior in v13 at this
late date, so that part should be HEAD-only.
