You pointed out that the code did not match the documented default. So I
made them match according to the docs.
Making it pause at target by default is more natural behaviour, even if
it is a change of behaviour. It can waste a lot of time if it leaves
recovery at the wrong point so I don't see the change as a bad one? Only
PITR is affected, not replication or standalone operation.
