I don't think we want the word "recovery" in there at all. From the
standpoint of system internals it might make sense, but the user is
not going to think of a hot standby server as being "in recovery".
I could go with just plain "hot_standby", though. It's sensible
and it also fits Robert's suggestion that it should match up with
the corresponding wal_level setting.
