It makes more sense to me to overload the database field. When you
connect for replication, you're not connecting to any particular
database, but to a special walsender mode.
Note that 'local' makes sense for replication too; you can connect for
replication via a Unix-domain socket. Replication isn't a connection
method like host/hostssl/local are.
