[Code review]
I read the code about startup process and walreciver process.

When a damaged wal record arrived:
1.The startup process shutdown the walreciver process use function
ShutdownWalRcv().
2.The startup process start the walreciver process use funtion
RequestXLogStreaming() by signal PMSIGNAL_START_WALRECEIVER.
3.The startup process try to read wal record.
And now reciver process does not startup completely,so the startup process
read the damaged wal record another times.
And startup process set walrcv->walRcvState = WALRCV_STOPPED use function
ShutdownWalRcv().
4.go to 2.
That's the infinite cycle.

[Question]
I wonder that if it is a bug or you just don't want restart walreciver
process.
