Exactly, I actually became aware of that possibility after plugging
in the common logging APIs to oid2name and vacuumlo as of fc8cb94b so
this was not mentioned in the log message. And anything using
src/common/logging.c can make use of the colorized output with
PG_COLOR[S] set.

I can recall an extra one in this case: pgbench as of 30a3e77. And I
don't see any new callers of pg_logging_init() in the stuff that
already existed in ~12.
