The startup process would not switch back to streaming with archiving
enabled until it has consumed all the segments available.  I recall
David Steele mentioning me that a perl command invocation can take
easily 100ms.  On a system which generates more than 10 segments per
segment, you can guess what happens..  I think that this argument is a
non-starter if we want to make the WAL receiver a maximum available.

Thanks Sergei for considering it.  The code paths touched are
sensitive, so we had better be careful here.
