Allow restore_command parameter to be changed with reload.
This commit changes restore_command from PGC_POSTMASTER to PGC_SIGHUP.
As the side effect of this commit, restore_command can be reset to
empty during archive recovery. In this setting, archive recovery
tries to replay only WAL files available in pg_wal directory. This is
the same behavior as when the command that always fails is specified
in restore_command.
Note that restore_command still must be specified (not empty) when
starting archive recovery, even after applying this commit. This is
necessary as the safeguard to prevent users from forgetting to
specify restore_command and starting archive recovery.
Thanks to Peter Eisentraut, Michael Paquier, Andres Freund,
Robert Haas and Anastasia Lubennikova for discussion.
