Set fallback_application_name for a walreceiver to cluster_name

By default, the fallback_application_name for a physical walreceiver
is "walreceiver". This means that multiple standbys cannot be
distinguished easily on a primary, for example in pg_stat_activity or
synchronous_standby_names.

If cluster_name is set, use that for fallback_application_name in the
walreceiver. (If it's not set, it remains "walreceiver".) If someone
set cluster_name to identify their instance, we might as well use that
by default to identify the node remotely as well. It's still possible
to specify another application_name in primary_conninfo explicitly.
