Document restrictions regarding incremental backups and standbys.

If you try to take an incremental backup on a standby and there hasn't
been much system activity, it might fail. Document why this happens.
Also add a hint to the error message you get, to make it more likely
that users will understand what has gone wrong.

Laurenz Albe and Robert Haas
