Allow dbname to be written as part of connstring via pg_basebackup's -R option.
Commit cca97ce6a665 allowed dbname in pg_basebackup connstring and in this commit we allow it to be written in postgresql.auto.conf when -R option is used. The database name in the connection string will be used by the logical replication slot synchronization on standby. The dbname will be recorded only if specified explicitly in the connection string or environment variable. Masahiko Sawada hasn't reviewed the code in detail but endorsed the idea.
