Yeah, the way is:
StartupXLOG() --> ReadCheckpointRecord() --> ReadRecord() -->
XLogPageRead() --> XLogFileReadAnyTLI() --> XLogFileRead() -->
RestoreArchivedFile()
ReadCheckpointRecord() is called before pg_control is updated.
ISTM that walreceiver might be invoked even after shutdown is requested.
We should prevent the postmaster from starting up walreceiver if
Shutdown > NoShutdown?
