Thank you. The following items need addressing. Some of them require some
more discussion to reach consensus, and I hope they will settle down soon.
After checking the progress for a week or so, I'll mark the CommitFest entry as
"ready for committer" or "waiting on author".

+ "Target server type", "", 6,
Looking at existing parameters, the default value is defined as a macro, and
the display label is a sequence of words separated by "-". i.e.
+ {"target_server_type", "PGTARGETSERVERTYPE", DefaultTargetServerType,
NULL,
+ "Target-Server-Type", "", 6,

Please avoid adding another round trip by using a GUC_REPORTed variable
(ParameterStatus entry). If you want to support this libpq failover with
pre-10 servers, you can switch the method of determining the primary based on
the server version. But I don't think it's worth supporting older servers at
the price of libpq code complexity.
(4)
Please consider supporting "standby" and "prefer_standby" like PgJDBC. They
are useful without load balancing when multiple standbys are used for HA.
(5)
I haven't tracked the progress of logical replication, but will
target_server_type be likely to be usable with it? How will target_server_type
fit logical replication?
