What? This is psql, so it doesn't affect non-CLI clientes, does it?
On the other hand, one message says "you're NOW connected", the other
doesn't have the "now". If we're dropping the "now" (I think it's
useless), let's make an explicit choice about it. TBH I'd drop the
"you're" also, so both \conninfo and \c would say
Connected to database foo <conn details>
Anyway, a trivial change that's sure to make bikeshed paint seller cry
with so many customers yelling at each other; not for this patch.
