Presumably, the "is_superuser" parameter was intended to make the updating
of psql's prompt more accurate when SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION is used.
However, if the prompt is customized to include the user name (%n), then
the prompt changes to reflect the real superuser status, but does not
change the user name.  I guess we need to pass "session_user" as well.
