There used to be a pg_terminate_backend, but it was #ifdef'd out due
to corruption concerns. Basically, all it did was:
kill -TERM pid
I'm not sure whether anyone has completed the research required to
know if anything remains corrupted, but it is used occasionally. Best
to do pg_cancel_backend and then kill -TERM.
