The documentation part looks fine to me.  Just one nit regarding the
error hint.

Here do we really want to recommend adding options to
postgresql.auto.conf?  This depends a lot on the solution integration
so I think that this hint could actually confuse some users because it
implies that they kind of *have* to do so, which is not correct.  I
would recommend to be a bit more generic and just use "and add
necessary recovery configuration".
