Thanks Pavel for fixing the comments.
Few comments:
The else part cannot be hit in DropDatabase function as gram.y expects FORCE.
+
+ if (strcmp(opt->defname, "force") == 0)
+ force = true;
+ else
+ ereport(ERROR,
+ (errcode(ERRCODE_SYNTAX_ERROR),
+ errmsg("unrecognized DROP DATABASE option \"%s\"", opt->defname),
+ parser_errposition(pstate, opt->location)));
+ }

+drop_option: FORCE
+ {

"This will also fail" should be "This will fail"

+      in <xref linkend="functions-admin-signal"/>.
+
+      This will also fail if we are not able to terminate connections or
+      when there are active prepared transactions or active logical replication

Can we add few tests for this feature.
