Very similar to my v4 proposal (also move RequestXLogStreaming call), but
closer to currentSource reading. No objections from me, attached patch is
changed this way.
I renamed start_wal_receiver to startWalReceiver - this style looks more
consistent to near code.

I think we still need wait WalRcvStreaming after RequestXLogStreaming call. So
I remove else branch and leave separate condition.

Agreed, I move pfree

I have no strong opinion here. These messages was changed many times during
this thread lifetime, can be changed anytime. I think this is not issue since
we have no consensus about overall design.
Write detailed messages was proposed here:
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/20190216151025.GJ2240%40paquier.xyz
> or vise versa (start)
I explicitly check currentSource and WalRcvRunning, so we have no such messages
if user had no walreceiver before.
regards, Sergei
