In fast failover case, pg_standby has to delete the trigger file immediately
if it's found. Otherwise, recovery may go wrong as I already described.
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2009-04/msg01139.php

So, in fast mode, recovery_end_command would always fail to delete the
trigger file, and cause warning. This is odd behavior, I think. We should
change WARNING to DEBUG2 like RestoreArchivedFile() in the above code?
