It's hard to write this so it works in all cases and doesn't work in
the right cases also.

Basically, we can't get in the way of crash recovery, so the only way
we can currently tell a crash recovery from an archive recovery is the
presence of restore_command.

If you don't have that and you haven't set a recovery target, it won't
pause and there's nothing I can do, AFAICS.

Please test this and review before commit.
