I've attached a WIP patch for the above (recovery_guc_v20160831.patch).
This was based on the unite_recoveryconf_postgresqlconf_v3.patch posted
by Fujii Masao.
Unfortunately, some parts conflict with the patch that Simon just posted
(e.g., his patch removes trigger_file altogether, whereas mine converts
it into a GUC along the lines of the original patch). Rather than trying
to untangle that right now, I'm posting what I have as-is, and I'll post
an updated version tomorrow.
