Applied with additional cleanup.  You hadn't thought very carefully
about additional state transitions that would have to be introduced
into the postmaster state machine to sup****t a new state --- for
example, as coded a SIGINT delivered to the postmaster after SIGTERM
would fail to do anything at all, when of course it really ought to
force us into fast shutdown.  Also, it's not really that hard to
disallow non-superusers from connecting in PM_WAIT_BACKUP state.
