We have GUC restart_after_crash.

+1. This name sounds good to me. Or recovery_init_sync_method, because that
sync happens in the initial phase of recovery.

Another idea from different angle is data_directory_sync_method. If we adopt
this, we can easily extend this feature for other use cases (other than sync at
the beginning of recovery) without changing the name.
I'm not sure if such cases actually exist, though.
