FWIW, I don't see much point in doing that.  For one, we have a
more-or-less established rule that progname remains set until the
application leaves, and there are much more places where we leak
memory like that.  As one example, just see the various places where
we use pg_strdup for option parsing.  At the end, it does not really
matter as these are applications running for a short amount of time.
