You're not doing very well with this project :-(. pg_ctl is now
actively broken, because the PGDATA value passed down to the
bootstrap backend is the one in the environment variable. The
previous coding canonicalized that, this does not.
I do not like the "simplified" postmaster.c coding either; it may
save one line but it is harder to understand.
