This isn't a "startup" checkpoint, it's an "end of recovery" checkpoint,
because we don't do it during normal startup. Not sure about an equally
concise name based on that, but I don't like IS_STARTUP.
On the other point: are we going to eliminate mdunlink's isRedo
parameter? Maybe the better thing is to have its callers pass the value
of InArchiveRecovery?
