I am not sure if it is 100% practical - on second hand the necessary right to kill other sessions is  almost available - and consistency with pg_terminal_backend has sense. More - native implementation is significantly better then solution implemented outer. I fixed docs little bit - the timeout for logout (as reaction on SIGTERM is only 5 sec).

Few comments on the patch.

If you see the createdb, then options are processed inside the
createdb function but here we are processing outside
the function.  Wouldn't it be good to keep them simmilar and also it
will be expandable in case we add more options
in the future?

I did not understand why you have moved this code after
connectMaintenanceDatabase function?  I don't see any problem but in
earlier code
initPQExpBuffer and appendPQExpBuffer were together now you have moved
appendPQExpBuffer after the connectMaintenanceDatabase so if there is
no reason to do that then better to keep it how it was earlier.
