Comment(by stuartm):

 I agree with Matthew about the usefulness of IsMasterBackend() even when
 the calling process is not a backend, which is why I committed it, but I
 can also see the that the naming might be confusing.

 IsBackend() is true only if the process is a backend, IsMasterBackend() is
 true if we are on the same machine as the backend. Clearly we need to
 rename the current function (IsMasterMachine?) so that it doesn't appear
 related to IsBackend() and then we add a new IsMasterBackend() that is
 only true for the backend process.
