The comment fix seems fine and they seem to be all occurances of
the word ".backup" in the context of recovery_command.

The definition of the symbol XLOG_BACKUP_LABEL is no longer
useful after your patch applied. Removing the symbol makes
XLOG_DATA and the variable nextWALFileName useless and finally we
can remove all branching using it.
