Subject: Improve log messages referring to background worker processes
X-Git-Tag: REL_17_BETA1~630
X-Git-Url: http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a3f349c612923b53bd168b1dfb541a4ec712b421;p=postgresql.git

Improve log messages referring to background worker processes

"Worker" could also mean autovacuum worker or slot sync worker, so
let's be more explicit.

Per Tristan Partin's suggestion.
