+1. From the point of view of the postmaster, whether the state
transition happens immediately upon reaching consistency, or at a
later time, or perhaps even earlier (if we could make that work)
is not relevant. What's relevant is that it's allowed to let in
hot-standby backends. So the current naming overspecifies the
meaning of the state and the transition event.
