I changed the message to "Such connection is discarded at the end of
remote transaction.".

I'm attaching v5 patch set i.e. all the patches 0001 ( for new
functions), 0002 ( for GUC) and 0003 (for server level option). I have
also made the changes for increasing the version of
postgres_fdw--1.0.sql from 1.0 to 1.1.

I have no open points from my end. Please consider the v5 patch set
for further review.
