IMHO as a user, I prefer RecoveryRetrieveRetryInterval because
it's easy to understand this wait_event is related to the
parameter 'wal_retrieve_retry_interval'.

Also from the point of balance, the explanation of
RecoveryRetrieveRetryInterval is lengthy, but I
sometimes feel explanations of wait_events in the
manual are so simple that it's hard to understand
well.

I think 'local' means pg_wal here, but the comment on
WaitForWALToBecomeAvailable() says checking pg_wal in
standby mode is 'not documented', so I'm a little bit worried
that users may be confused.
