Yeah, I think that's the main weakness of the name "standby_mode". It's
pretty descriptive otherwise, we call that mode of operation "standby"
everywhere, and always have.

I'm not sure I dare to say this out loud after Simon's previous
outburst, but removing or renaming pg_standby would help with that...

Anything with the word 'standby' in it suffers from the same problem,
maybe not as badly but still.
