For that scenario, wouldn't it be better to emit the "still waiting" message
only once per lock wait (i.e., use the same behavior) regardless of
the client_connection_check_interval setting, rather than repeating it
every several minutes? Also logging it again after a long delay like 5min
could be confusing to users.
I used 10s in the patch, on the other hand I'm also ok with preserving
the existing behavior (emit once per wait) whether
client_connection_check_interval is set or not. Even without periodic
log messages, ongoing lock waits can still be monitored via pg_locks.
