Looks good to me, too.

The SIGTERM part looks good. The only difference between
WalRcvSigHupHandler and SignalHandlerForConfigReload is whether latch
is set or not.  I don't think it's a problem that config-reload causes
an extra wakeup.  Couldn't we do the same thing for SIGHUP?

We might even be able to reload config file in
ProcessWalRcvInterrupts().
