We added a REPLICATION privelge onto user accounts to control access.

Perhaps we should add a CASCADE privilege as well, so that we can
control whether we can connect to a master and/or a standby.

Syntax would be

ALTER USER foo
[MASTER | CASCADE] REPLICATION

REPLICATION allows both master and cascaded replication (same as now)
MASTER REPLICATION allows master only
CASCADE REPLICATION allows cascaded replication only
NOREPLICATION allows neither option
