Please see attached. We're lucky that PQconnectdbParams has an option
to parse and expand the first dbname parameter if it looks like a
connection string (or a URI).
The first patch is not on topic, I just spotted this missing check.
The second one is a self-contained fix, but the third one which is the
actual patch depends on the second one, because it specifies the dbname
keyword two times: first to parse the conninfo/URI, then to override any
dbname provided by the user with "replication" pseudo-database name.
Have a nice day!
