The existing compromise on this is that archive_command is separate from
archive_mode, and archive_command *can* be changed on the fly. So you can
run with archive_mode on and set archive_command to a no-op (I think an
empty string might work, read the docs), if you think you might want to
activate archiving later without restarting.
