rmgrs might need to issue their own warnings, but the main recovery
system doesn't.


Slightly OT, but reading this I definitely want to split resource
managers into "essential" and "non-essential" groups, so we can come up
when essential operations are complete. I want the non-essential rmgrs
to be cancellable, plus give them the opportunity to rebuild corrupt
data structures without interfering with other aspects of the DB.
