Here's a tiny patch adding support for %C to log_line_prefix (this was
part of the cluster_name patch that didn't go it).

Given that csvlog's output format is hardcoded in write_csvlog, how is
it supposed to evolve without upsetting consumers of this data?
Wouldn't we first need to add a GUC that lets you control the columns
it outputs?
