I would like to commit this, because "waiting restore commands" have
confusing interactions with my proposed prefetching-during-recovery
patch[1]. Here's a version that fixes an error when building the docs
(there was a stray remaining <xref linkend="pgstandby"/>), and adds a
commit message. Any objections?

Furthermore, I think we should also remove the section of the manual
that describes how to write your own "waiting restore command".
Thoughts?
