a document in version 10 to promote salve to master with pg_ctl and =
create recovery.conf.  Recovery.conf is not existed in version 12 but in =
version 1.

1) The parameters that used to be set in recovery.conf are instead set =
in postgresql.conf in 12 & above.

2) They are set on your replica; otherwise it would not come up as a =
replica. They are not needed in a master.
