I don't think that is a tremendously useful definition: the user
already knows what recoveryStopTime is, or can find it out from
their settings easily enough.
I seem to recall that the original idea was to report the timestamp
of the commit/abort record we are stopping at. Maybe my memory is
faulty, but I think that'd be significantly more useful than the
current behavior, *especially* when the replay stopping point is
defined by something other than time.
(Also, the wording of the log message suggests that that's what
the reported time is supposed to be. I wonder if somebody messed
this up somewhere along the way.)
