The interactions with waiting for WAL to be available and the WAL
receiver stresses me a bit for restore_command, as you could finish
with the startup process switching to use restore_command with a WAL
receiver still working behind and overwriting partially the recovered
segment, which could lead to corruption.  We should be *very* careful
about that.
