Instead of doing this, could we just change the logic in InitPostgres?
Current logic says we hit the connection limit if:
if (!am_superuser &&
ReservedBackends > 0 &&
!HaveNFreeProcs(ReservedBackends))
Couldn't we just change this to:
if ((!am_superuser || am_walsender) &&
ReservedBackends > 0 &&
!HaveNFreeProcs(ReservedBackends))
Seems like that'd be a whole lot simpler, if it'll do the job...
