Re this:

>> Remove exclusive backup mode (David Steele, Nathan Bossart)
>>
>> If the database server stops abruptly while in this mode, the server could fail to start.
>> The non-exclusive backup mode requires a continuous database connection during the backup.

It'd be useful to mention exclusive backup mode has been deprecated since 9.6,
lest the impression arise that an important-sounding feature has been torn out
suddenly. Also not sure why we need to mention that non-exclusive backup
requires a continuous database connection, AFAIR that was also the case with
exclusive backups.

The patch also removed 4 and added 2 new functions, a change which anyone
maintaining backup utilities would need to be aware of.

Patch attached with suggested changes.
