pgsql: Prevent shutdown in normal mode if online backup is running, and

-----------
Prevent shutdown in normal mode if online backup is running, and
have pg_ctl warn about this.

Cancel running online backups (by renaming the backup_label file,
thus rendering the backup useless) when shutting down in fast mode.
