Add a note to the documentation of pg_standby that it's important that the postgres process has permissions to delete the trigger file, per suggestion by Mason Hale. Also fix pg_standby to do a more predictable exit(200) instead of the current exit(-1) when the unlink of the trigger file fails anyway. This only affects 8.3 branch. Older versions didn't have pg_standby, and in 8.4 upwards pg_standby is no longer responsible for deleting the trigger file; it's supposed to be done by recovery_end_command instead.
