Prevent starting a standalone backend with standby_mode on.
This can't really work because standby_mode expects there to be more
WAL arriving, which there will not ever be because there's no WAL
receiver process to fetch it. Moreover, if standby_mode is on then
hot standby might also be turned on, causing even more strangeness
because that expects read-only sessions to be executing in parallel.
Bernd Helmle reported a case where btree_xlog_delete_get_latestRemovedXid
got confused, but rather than band-aiding individual problems it seems
best to prevent getting anywhere near this state in the first place.
Back-patch to all supported branches.
In passing, also fix some omissions of errcodes in other ereport's in
readRecoveryCommandFile().
