Ah, I see.  The key point is that curtime and last_copy_time will most
likely be the same value as time() is second-based, so timeout is
basically always PGARCH_AUTOWAKE_INTERVAL.  There is no need to care
about time_to_stop, as we just go through and exit if it happens to be
switched to true.  Applied v3, keeping time_to_stop as it is in v2 and
v3 so as we don't loop again on a postmaster death.
