This patch looks similar to the change suggested in
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/FB0DEA0B-E14E-43A0-811F-C1AE93D00FF3%40amazon.com
to deal with panics after promoting a standby.
The difference is the patch tests !ArchiveRecoveryRequested instead
of !StandbyModeRequested as proposed in the mentioned thread.
