This PR adds the ability to specify which database
psqlshould connect to for postgres/postgresql operaitons and facts.I can into an issue where I wanted to create a postgres role
my_rolewithCREATEDB, and then connect as that new user to create a database that they owned. Because postgres defaults to connecting to the db with the same name as the role, I would get an error like:FATAL: database "my_role" does not exist.This method is necessary when using managed postgres services from cloud providers that don't provide superuser access, meaning you can't change the owner of a database.
