Ooops... Attached.

Agreed. The attached patch defines the macro to check whether archiver is
allowed to start up or not, and uses it everywhere except sigusr1_handler.
I made sigusr1_handler use a different condition because only it tries to
start archiver in PM_STARTUP postmaster state and it looks a bit messy
to add the check of that state into the centralized check condition.
