A restorepoint happens during recovery, not a checkpoint. The recovery
is merely repeating the work of the checkpoint that occurred in the
original WAL stream. Elongating the checkpoint would not have any effect
on a restorepoint: we only record the checkpoint when it is complete and
we only create a restorepoint when we see the checkpoint record.

Crash recovery and PITR use almost exactly the same code path (by
design), so there isn't anything special to say about PITR either.
