Well, its there. Perhaps the full functionality has been clipped in
recent changes, but there are still unwanted ramifications in the design
that I think would be best to remove. No loss of functionality, just HS
won't activate unless max_connections is set >= value on primary.
Since max_prepared_transactions already has this same problem in the
current code I see no reason to fuss. We can always put in more flexible
code later.
State change code in StartupXLog(), Snapshots disabled code in
GetSnapshotData(), ProcArray->allowStandbySnapshots etc..
