FWIW, complicating more XLogRecoveryCtlData sends me shivers, these
days, because we have already a lot of recovery state to track within
it.

More seriously, I'm not much a fan of introducing more branches at the
bottom of readRecoverySignalFile() for the boolean flags tracking if
standby and/or archive recovery are triggered, even if these are
simple there are already too many of them. Perhaps we should begin
tracking all that as a set of bitmasks, then plug in the tracked state
in shmem for consumption in some SQL function.
