Hi Hackers,

Various sections of the code utilize the walrcv_connect() function,
employed by various processes such as walreceiver, logical replication
apply worker, etc., to establish connections with other hosts.
Presently, in case of connection failures, the error message lacks
information about the specific process attempting to connect and
encountering the failure.

The provided patch enhances error messages for such connection
failures, offering more details on the processes that failed to
establish a connection.

Thanks,
