Fix man page markup for <cmdsynopsis> with multiple variants
...
Command synopses using <cmdsynopsis> with multiple variants previously used
<sbr> to break lines between variants. The new man page toolchain introduced
in 9.0 makes a mess out of that, and that markup was probably wrong all along,
because <sbr> is supposed to break lines within a synopsis, not between them.
So fix that by using multiple <cmdsynopsis> elements inside <refsynopsisdiv>.
backpatched to 9.0

Bring some sanity to the trace_recovery_messages code and docs.
...
Per gripe from Fujii Masao, though this is not exactly his proposed patch.
Categorize as DEVELOPER_OPTIONS and set context PGC_SIGHUP, as per Fujii,
but set the default to LOG because higher values aren't really sensible
(see the code for trace_recovery()). Fix the documentation to agree with
the code and to try to explain what the variable actually does. Get rid
of no-op calls trace_recovery(LOG), which accomplish nothing except to
demonstrate that this option confuses even its author.
