You were in the minority before on the usefulness of this output, and
I think you still are.  Personally I've already found it useful to be
able to check that buildfarm runs are binding to (only) the addresses
they're supposed to.

Besides, unless someone has an objection to what I proposed in
<17211.1489189214@sss.pgh.pa.us> concerning getting rid of the
"MultiXact member wraparound protections are now enabled" message
in the normal case, we'll have saved three other lines relative
to where we were before, so that the net chattiness is the same.
