Hello hackers,

it is possible to start bgworker with bgw_start_time =
BgWorkerStart_PostmasterStart, which will be started immediately after
postmaster.

But if you try to do a fast shutdown while postmaster still in the
pmState == PM_STARTUP, bgworker will never get SIGTERM and postmaster
will wait forever.
At the same time, if you do immediate or smart shutdown, it works fine.

The problem is in the pmdie function. Proposed fix attached.
