Re: log_min_messages per backend type

Hello

I noticed failures under Windows, and realized that the EXEC_BACKEND
case was busted.  That's easy to fix -- just assign MyBackendType in
SubPostmasterMain() as well.  With that fix I was still getting some
crashes in three test modules, and after some debugging it turned out
that if you have shared_preload_library with a background worker and use
%b in the log_line_prefix, you get a crash trying to expand a name that
hasn't been set up yet.  I figured we can use a constant string in that
case.  Better ideas for that string welcome.

So here's your v6 again with those fixes as 0003 -- let's see what CI
thinks of this.  I haven't looked at your doc changes yet.


BTW with %b in log_line_prefix, the log file looks ... interesting.
