    Ensure recovery pause feature doesn't pause unless users can connect. · af4aba2f

    If we're not in hot standby mode, then there's no way for users to connect
    to reset the recoveryPause flag, so we shouldn't pause.  The code was aware
    of this but the test to see if pausing was safe was seriously inadequate:
    it wasn't paying attention to reachedConsistency, and besides what it was
    testing was that we could legally enter hot standby, not that we have
    done so.  Get rid of that in favor of checking LocalHotStandbyActive,
    which because of the coding in CheckRecoveryConsistency is tantamount to
    checking that we have told the postmaster to enter hot standby.
    
    Also, move the recoveryPausesHere() call that reacts to asynchronous
    recoveryPause requests so that it's not in the middle of application of a
    WAL record.  I put it next to the recoveryStopsHere() call --- in future
    those are going to need to interact significantly, so this seems like a
    good waystation.
    
    Also, don't bother trying to read another WAL record if we've already
    decided not to continue recovery.  This was no big deal when the code was
    written originally, but now that reading a record might entail actions like
    fetching an archive file, it seems a bit silly to do it like that.
    
    Per report from Jeff Janes and subsequent discussion.  The pause feature
    needs quite a lot more work, but this gets rid of some indisputable bugs,
    and seems safe enough to back-patch.
