Not happy with these changes without discussion.

* "entering standby mode" isn't a more informative message. Two people
have already said on-list that "standby mode" name might need to be
changed. More informative, for me, would be something like "entering
streaming replication mode" and having a parameter called replication
would also make that clearer.

* If you change the HS startup messages you need to change the docs also
