    Doc: warn that timezone abbreviations don't work in recovery_target_time. · bb20f2c8

    Moving this setting into the main configuration file was ill-considered,
    perhaps, because that typically causes it to be set before
    timezone_abbreviations has been set.  Which in turn means that zone
    abbreviations don't work, only full zone names.
    
    We could imagine hacking things so that such cases do work, but the
    stability of the hack would be questionable, and the value isn't really
    that high.  Instead just document that you should use a numeric zone
    offset or a full zone name.
    
    Per bug #16404 from Reijo Suhonen.
    Back-patch to v12 where this was changed.
