IIUC trace_recovery_messages was a debugging aid in the 9.0 era when the HS was
introduced. I'm also wondering if anyone used it in the past years.
elog.c:
* Intention is to keep this for at least the whole of the 9.0 production

* It should go away eventually, though, because it's an ugly and
* hard-to-explain kluge.

trace_recovery(int trace_level)
{
if (trace_level < LOG &&
trace_level >= trace_recovery_messages)
return LOG;
return trace_level;
}
