This was feature request from user. I got such comment:
This function is useful when working with pg_stat_statements. For obtaining a databаse name for particular query you need to join pg_database relation, but for obtaining an username you just need pg_get_userbyid(). So it will be useful not to join extra relation and get a database name using the similar function - pg_get_databasebyid().

Hi,
I think its a user request and don't require to be in the core of PostgreSQL.
A simple SQL function can fulfill the requirement of the user.
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION pg_get_databasebyid(dboid integer) RETURNS name AS $$
SELECT datname from pg_database WHERE oid = dboid;
