I got to think about this patch more for the last couple of days, and
I'd still think that having a GUC to control how much shared memory we
need for the authenticated ID in each BackendStatusArray. Now, the
thread has been idle for two months now, and it does not seem to
attract much attention. This also includes a split of
pg_stat_activity for client_addr, client_hostname and client_port into
a new catalog, which may be hard to justify for this feature. So I am
dropping the patch.
