Fix possibility of self-deadlock in ResolveRecoveryConflictWithBufferPin().
The tests added in 9f8a050f68d failed nearly reliably on FreeBSD in CI, and
occasionally on the buildfarm. That turns out to be caused not by a bug in the
test, but by a longstanding bug in recovery conflict handling.
The standby timeout handler, used by ResolveRecoveryConflictWithBufferPin(),
executed SendRecoveryConflictWithBufferPin() inside a signal handler. A bad
idea, because the deadlock timeout handler (or a spurious latch set) could
have interrupted ProcWaitForSignal(). If unlucky that could cause a
self-deadlock on ProcArrayLock, if the deadlock check is in
SendRecoveryConflictWithBufferPin()->CancelDBBackends().
To fix, set a flag in StandbyTimeoutHandler(), and check the flag in
ResolveRecoveryConflictWithBufferPin().
Subsequently the recovery conflict tests will be backpatched.
