Okay. Let's work out the details.
I guess that the startup process and the walreceiver should wait
for all read only backends to exit in smart shutdown case. It's
because those backends might be waiting for the record that conflicts
with their queries to be replayed. Is this OK? Or we should kill the
startup process and the walreceiver on ahead?
If my guess is right, we would need to add new PMState to cancel
recovery and replication after all read only connections have died.
