I was wondering if we should backpatch that, and decided towards a
yes here as it can be annoying.  3e51b278db6a has introduced the -c
switch in initdb in v16, but that could be reached as well if one
touches at some initialization path, perhaps in a fork.  Done, down
to v13.

Let's tackle the rest separately.
