Hello

Before doing the complete review, I hit a regression with 9.1 createrole.

the command ''createuser -e -s foo" produce : CREATE ROLE foo SUPERUSER CREATEDB CREATEROLE INHERIT LOGIN
NOREPLICATION;

before it was: CREATE ROLE foo SUPERUSER CREATEDB CREATEROLE INHERIT LOGIN;

The REPLICATION was allowed by default to superuser, and the current
patch change the default to remove the right.

I believe we should add only the REPLICATION when --replication is
set, and NOREPLICATION when --no-replication is set.
