Historically this message has been emitted at the end of ShutdownXLOG(). That's not an insane place for it in a standalone backend, but in the postmaster environment we've grown a fair amount of stuff that happens later, including archiver/walsender shutdown, stats collector shutdown, etc. Recent buildfarm experimentation showed that on slower machines there could be many seconds' delay between finishing ShutdownXLOG() and actual postmaster exit. That's fairly confusing, both for testing purposes and for DBAs. Hence, move the code that prints this message into UnlinkLockFiles(), so that it comes out just after we remove the postmaster's pidfile. That is a more appropriate definition of "is shut down" from the point of view of "pg_ctl stop", for example. In general, removing the pidfile should be the last externally-visible action of either a postmaster or a standalone backend; compare commit d73d14c2 for instance. So this seems like a reasonably future-proof approach.
