IMHO, since the user has specifically asked for origin=NONE but we do
not have any way to detect the origin during initial sync so I think
this could be documented and we can also issue the WARNING.  So that
users notice that part and carefully set up the replication.  OTOH, I
do not think that giving an error is very inconvenient because we are
already providing a new option "origin=NONE" so along with that lets
force the user to choose between copy_data=off or copy_data=force and
with that, there is no scope for mistakes.
