Thanks Álvaro for the feedback.

I removed the old handling of on_exit_nicely_list from the last patch
set and added one simple function to just update the archive handle in
shutdown_info.  (shutdown_info.AHX = AHX;)

For first database, we will add entry into on_exit_nicely_list array
and for rest database, we will update only shutdown_info as we already
closed connection for previous database.With this fix, we will not
touch entry of on_exit_nicely_list for each database.

Here, I am attaching updated patches.
