    Fast promote mode skips checkpoint at end of recovery. · fd4ced52

    pg_ctl promote -m fast will skip the checkpoint at end of recovery so that we
    can achieve very fast failover when the apply delay is low. Write new WAL record
    XLOG_END_OF_RECOVERY to allow us to switch timeline correctly for downstream log
    readers. If we skip synchronous end of recovery checkpoint we request a normal
    spread checkpoint so that the window of re-recovery is low.
