Remove promote_trigger_file.
Thomas Munro <tmunro@postgresql.org>
Remove promote_trigger_file. Previously, an idle startup (recovery) process would wake up every 5 seconds to have a chance to poll for promote_trigger_file, even if that GUC was not configured. That promotion triggering mechanism was effectively superseded by pg_ctl promote and pg_promote() a long time ago. There probably aren't many users left and it's very easy to change to the modern mechanisms, so we agreed to remove the feature. This is part of a campaign to reduce wakeups on idle systems.
