IsStandbyMode() looks overkill to me. The standby mode flag is forcibly
turned off at the end of recovery, but its change doesn't need to be shared
to the checkpointer process, IOW, the shared flag doesn't need to change
since startup like XLogCtl->archiveCleanupCommand, I think. So we can
simplify the code to share the flag to the checkpointer. See the attached
patch (though not tested yet).

The comments in checkpointer.c seems to need to be revised more. For
example,

+        * XLogInsert that actually triggers a checkpoint when

Currently a checkpoint is triggered by XLogWrite (not XLogInsert), the above
needs to be corrected.
