At the initial setup of the standby, we can easily disable wait-forever
option and take a base backup. I'm concerned about the case where the
standby goes down while replication is working. ISTM that we cannot
easily disable wait-forever option for backup because that disablement
resumes the waiting transactions.
In this case, we would need to issue rollback. Or we seem to need to
shut down the master, take a cold backup, start the master and start
the standby from that cold backup. Though I'm not sure if this is really
right procedure..
