So, what you are doing here is changing the behavior of the check in
recoveryStopsAfter(), with the addition of one exit path based on
EndRecPtr if recovery_target_inclusive is false, to leave a bit
earlier in case if we don't have a follow-up record. Did you notice a
speedup once you did that in your logirep workflow? I am afraid that
this change would be a new mode, skipping a couple of code paths if
one decides to trigger the exit. And I highly suspect that you could
break some cases that worked until now here, skipping one
recoveryPausesHere() and one ProcessStartupProcInterrupts() to say the
least.

Could you prove your point with a test or something that justifies a
new definition?

35250b6ad7a8 was quite some time ago, as of this thread, with my
fingerprints all over it:

If my memory serves me right, this comes down to the consistency with
how stop XID targets are handled before and after records are read,
except that this one applies to ReadRecPtr.
