Subject: [PATCH v4] Fix description for handling of non-printable ASCII
 characters
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

45b1a67a changed the behavior when characters that are not printable ASCII were
used for three configuration parameters (application_name, cluster_name, and
postgres_fdw.application_name), but it was not documented. This commit fixes
that.

PG15 and prior:

```
postgres=# SET application_name TO 'あああ';
SET
postgres=# SHOW application_name ;
 application_name
------------------
 ?????????
(1 row)
```

PG16 and later:

```
postgres=# SET application_name TO 'あああ';
SET
postgres=# SHOW application_name ;
           application_name
--------------------------------------
 \xe3\x81\x82\xe3\x81\x82\xe3\x81\x82
(1 row)
```
