Remove the long-deprecated -u option from psql, since it does nothing very
...
useful and confuses people who think it is the same as -U. (Eventually
we might want to re-introduce it as being an alias for -U, but that should
not happen until the switch has actually not been there for a few releases.)
Likewise in pg_dump and pg_restore. Per gripe from Robert Treat and
subsequent discussion.

Extend the format of CSV logs to include the additional information supplied

with the logged event. CSV logs are now a first-class citizen along plain
text logs in that they carry much of the same information.

Remove the -P options of oid2name and pgbench, as they are security
...
hazards. Instead teach these programs to prompt for a password when
necessary, just like all our other programs.
I did not bother to invent -W switches for them, since the return on
investment seems so low.

Fix up the PQconnectionUsedPassword mess: create a separate

PQconnectionNeedsPassword function that tells the right thing for whether to
prompt for a password, and improve PQconnectionUsedPassword so that it checks
whether the password used by the connection was actually supplied as a
