I was doing a final review before pushing 0001 and found that
'inactive_since' could be set twice during startup after promotion,
once while restoring slots and then via ShutDownSlotSync(). The reason
is that ShutDownSlotSync() will be invoked in normal startup on
primary though it won't do anything apart from setting inactive_since
if we have synced slots. I think you need to check 'StandbyMode' in
update_synced_slots_inactive_since() and return if the same is not
set. We can't use 'InRecovery' flag as that will be set even during
crash recovery.

Can you please test this once unless you don't agree with the above theory?
