Lately, I've been reviewing some pg_createsubscriber patches and have
been tricked by some of the logging.

The pg_createsubscriber has a '--dry-run' option/mode [1]

----------
--dry-run
Do everything except actually modifying the target directory.
----------

I've noticed that the logging in '--dry-run' mode is indistinguishable
from the logging of "normal" run, although functions like
create_publication(), drop_publication(), etc, are NOP in '--dry-run'
mode, because the actual command execution code is skipped. e.g.

if (!dry_run)
{
  res = PQexec(conn, str->data);
  ...
}

~~~

IMO, it's not good to fool people into thinking something has happened
when in fact nothing happened at all. I think the logging of this tool
should be much more explicit wrt when it is/isn't in dry-run mode.
Perhaps like this:

NORMAL
pg_log_info("creating publication \"%s\" in database \"%s\"", ...)

DRY-RUN
pg_log_info("[dry-run] would create publication \"%s\" in database \"%s\"", ...)

~~~

Thoughts?
