Hot Standby - >8.5

As discussed at 
http://archives.postgresql.org/message-id/603c8f070902251956s16eee4a7l495d75d3ddccc78a@mail.gmail.com, 
it's time to stop pushing hot standby into 8.4, take the time to work 
out the remaining details, and schedule it for 8.5. It will be a great 
feature when it's released, and in 8.5 we should also have the built-in 
replication capability, making it even greater.

I'll start looking at other patches, to help with getting 8.4 out of the 
door. Meanwhile, I'll also continue to review and discuss any updates to 
Hot Standby, but at a lower priority. I'm expecting it to be ready for 
the first or second commit fest of 8.5, meaning we have the full cycle 
left to iron out any bugs or usability issues.
