I was able to reproduce the same problem even in 9.0. When the standby
reaches the recovery target, it always tries to end the recovery even
though walreceiver is still running, which causes the problem. This seems
to be an oversight in streaming replication. I should have considered how
the standby should work when recovery_target is specified.
What about the attached patch? Which stops walreceiver instead of
emitting PANIC there only if we've reached the recovery target.
