Hot Standby Design

Hot Standby design has been growing on the PostgreSQL Wiki for some
weeks now.

I've updated the design to reflect all feedback received so far on
various topics.

http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Hot_Standby

It's not hugely detailed in every area, but it gives a flavour of the
topics and issues related to them.

Comments or questions welcome here, or I will discuss specific areas in
more detail as I tackle those topics.
