I agree, it would be much easier, but that is not relevant to this patch.

I have rebased Michael Paquier's patch and did a few changes:

* changed standby.enabled filename to recovery.trigger
* make archive_command a SIGHUP parameter again
* make restore_command a SIGHUP parameter
* rename restore_command variable to XLogRestoreCommand to match
XLogArchiveCommand

we can also make primary_conninfo a SIGHUP parameter, of course the
DBA will need to force a reconection after that.
after this is done we can look at the other recovery parameters.
