I wondered if there might be a way for PostmasterStateMachine() to be
reached with without signals blocked, in the case where we fork a
fresh checkpointers, and then it misses the SIGUSR2 that we
immediately send because it hasn't installed its handler yet.  But I
can't see it.

This is a curious thing from dragonet's log:

2019-04-16 08:23:24.178 CEST [8335] LOG:  received fast shutdown request
2019-04-16 08:23:24.178 CEST [8335] LOG:  aborting any active transactions
2019-04-16 08:23:24.178 CEST [8393] FATAL:  terminating walreceiver
process due to administrator command
2019-04-16 08:28:23.166 CEST [8337] LOG:  restartpoint starting: time

LogCheckpointStart() is the thing that writes "starting: ...", and it
prefers to report "shutdown" over "time", but it didn't.
