Hi,

I found that pg_rewind with --write-recovery-conf option doesn't write
the dbname to an auto-generated primary_conninfo value. Therefore,
after a failover, the old primary cannot start if it's rewound by
pg_rewind with --write-recovery-conf option if sync_replication_slots
is on. Is it an oversight in commit a145f424d5? I could not see any
discussion in the thread[1] about whether we need to support adding
the dbname to the primary_conninfo value generated by pg_rewind.

I think it's a good idea to support it at least on HEAD. I've attached
a patch for that.

Regards,
