Okay. I got rid of the access to pg_db_role_setting from the patch.
I attached the updated version, which makes walsender process the
options passed in the startup packet, apply PostAuthDelay and initialize
client encoding.

OTOH, I can believe that some people would create a dedicated role for
replication and configure the parameters for replication on the role.
What about leaving the capability to apply per-role settings as a TODO
item?
