Is there a reason we require single quotes around boolean values in
recovery.conf?

        standby_mode = 'off'

This does not work:

        standby_mode = off

I knew there were inconsistencies between quoting in postgresql.conf and
recovery.conf, but I didn't realize it extended to boolean quoting.  I
see this at the top of recovery.conf now:

        # This file consists of lines of the form:
        #
        #   name = 'value'
        #
        # (The quotes around the value are NOT optional, but the "=" is.)
        #
        
and this issue existed in 8.4 as well.  Seems I just never noticed it,
and it not specifically mentioned in the TODO item we already have.
