On second thought, the peremptory PANIC is not good for HA system. If the
master unfortunately has written an invalid record because of its crash,
the standby would exit with PANIC before performing a failover.
So when an invalid record is found in streamed WAL file, we should keep
the standby running and leave the decision whether the standby retries to
connect to the master forever or shuts down right now, up to the user
(actually, it may be a clusterware)?
