I updated the wording in the docs for pg_basebackup and pg_receivewal.
They now clarify that Postgres itself doesn't care if there's a
database name in the connection string, but that a proxy might.

Commits

  1. pg_basebackup, pg_receivewal: fix failure to find password in ~/.pgpass.

  2. Allow dbname in pg_basebackup/pg_receivewal connstring
