I've applied this patch with some minor changes.

I rewrote some parts of the documentation to make it more focused on
the end user rather than the implementation. I also made a small
simplification in pg_terminate_backend() which removes the "wait"
variable (seems like a bit of a leftover since the time when it was a
separate argument). And picked a correct oid for the function (oids
8000-9999 should be used for new patches, 16386 is in the user area of
oids)

Thanks!
