Hmm.  Right.  It seems to me that BGWORKER_BACKEND_DATABASE_CONNECTION
is required in this case, with BackgroundWorkerInitializeConnection()
to connect to a database (or not, like the logical replication
launcher if only access to shared catalogs is wanted).

I have missed that the leader process of pg_prewarm does not use that,
because it has no need to connect to a database, but its workers do.
So it is not going to show up in pg_stat_activity.
