Okay, so that seems to work for the "reestablish new connection" test:
as coded here, it passes with or without debug_discard_caches enabled,
and I believe it's testing what it intends to either way.  So that's
good.

However, the other stanza with debug_discard_caches muckery is the
one about "test postgres_fdw.application_name GUC", and in that case
ignoring the number of terminated connections would destroy the
point of the test entirely; because without that, you're proving
nothing about what the remote's application_name actually looks like.

I'm inclined to think we should indeed just nuke that test.  It's
overcomplicated and it expends a lot of test cycles on a pretty
marginal feature.

So I propose the attached.
