+1 for the idea. Maybe it could be backpatched? It could be really
useful to have the same amount of details across all the stable
branches to ease any future backpatch of a test. It does not seem to
me that many people would rely much on application_name in out-of-core
test, but if that's the case such tests would suddenly break after a
the next minor upgrade.

Keeping "control connection" seems is fine for me for these.
