Hmm ... this doesn't really feel cleaner to me, although I'm not sure
why not. One point is that you really don't have enough states there;
there's a difference between "in recovery" and "writing end-of-recovery
checkpoint". Also, you stated that you want to disable XLogInsert again
as soon as the EOR checkpoint is written, so I don't believe that the
state sequence is really monotonic, unless you split in-recovery into
three sub-states.
On the whole I prefer keeping "InRecovery" and "XLogInsertAllowed" as
separate concepts, I think.
