Allow pg_recvlogical --drop-slot to work without --dbname.

Browse Source 
When pg_recvlogical was introduced in 9.4, the --dbname option was not
required for --drop-slot. Without it, pg_recvlogical --drop-slot connected
using a replication connection (not tied to a specific database) and
was able to drop both physical and logical replication slots, similar to
pg_receivewal --drop-slot.

However, commit 0c013e08cfb unintentionally changed this behavior in 9.5,
making pg_recvlogical always check whether it's connected to a specific
database and fail if it's not. This change was expected for --create-slot
and --start, which handle logical replication slots and require a database
connection, but it was unnecessary for --drop-slot, which should work with
any replication connection. As a result, --dbname became a required option
for --drop-slot.

This commit removes that restriction, restoring the original behavior and
allowing pg_recvlogical --drop-slot to work without specifying --dbname.

Although this issue originated from an unintended change, it has existed
for a long time without complaints or bug reports, and the documentation
never explicitly stated that --drop-slot should work without --dbname.
Therefore, the change is not treated as a bug fix and is applied only to
master.
