I think we can detect this without any additional state - pg_ctl already
accesses pg_control (via get_control_dbstate()). We should be able to detect
your case by issuing a different warning if
a) get_control_dbstate() at the start was *not* DB_SHUTDOWNED
b) get_control_dbstate() at the end is DB_SHUTDOWNED
