Add some checkpoint/restartpoint status to ps display

This is done for end-of-recovery and shutdown checkpoints/restartpoints
(end-of-recovery restartpoints don't exist) rather than all types of
checkpoints, in cases where it may not be possible to rely on
pg_stat_activity to get a status from the startup or checkpointer
processes.

For example, at the end of a crash recovery, this is useful to know if a
checkpoint is running in the startup process, while previously the ps
display may only show some information about "recovering" something,
that can be confusing while a checkpoint runs.
