Isn't it better to add the other missing process names as well, such as
slotsync worker, data checksums launcher, data checksums worker, and
REPACK decoding worker?

Also, the current list says "logical replication worker", but that isn't
an actual process name. It refers to four different worker types:
logical replication apply worker, logical replication parallel worker,
logical replication sequence synchronization worker, and logical replication
table synchronization worker. Isn't it better to list those actual
process names instead?
