All of the other CLI tools seems to support connection strings via the

dropuser. Attached is a patch to bring them up to par with the other
CLI tools.
There is an argument to be made for renaming or aliasing the
--maintenance-db parameter as --connection-string or similar for all
of these tools of course, but all of the others (except createdb and
dropdb afaics) accepts a "raw" connection string on the command line
so it might not matter much for them.
The idea behind this patch was to add support for OAuth to these tools
in the same way as it's supported for other CLI tools, but maybe the
interest in keeping these tools maintained is so low we could just
remove them instead?
