I've reworded docs a little.
Which led me to think about shutdown more.
If we ask for PAUSE and we're not in HotStandby it just ignores it,
which means it changes into PROMOTE. My feeling is that we should
change that into a SHUTDOWN, not a PROMOTE. I can raise that
separately if anyone objects.
Also, for the Shutdown itself, why are we not using kill(PostmasterPid, SIGINT)?
That gives a clean, fast shutdown rather than what looks like a crash.
