The connection-authorized message could be made to carry all the info
for the normal successful-connection case, but for connection failures
(not only bad password, but any other startup failure) it isn't going
to help.  So on reflection I think we'd better keep the
connection-received message --- else we'd have to add the equivalent
info to all the failure-case messages.

I'm coming to agree with Andrew that a documentation patch might be the
best answer.  But where to put it ... under the description of the
log_connections GUC var?
