The current code seems right to me. When the archive command dies
because of a signal (exit code > 128), the server should fail
immediately with FATAL and should not do any extra processing. It will
also try to archive again the same segment file after restart. When
trying again, if this time the failure is not caused by a signal but
still fails it will be reported to pg_stat_archiver.
