Thomas Munro cd4329d939 Remove promote_trigger_file.
Previously, an idle startup (recovery) process would wake up every 5
seconds to have a chance to poll for promote_trigger_file, even if that
GUC was not configured.  That promotion triggering mechanism was
effectively superseded by pg_ctl promote and pg_promote() a long time
ago.  There probably aren't many users left and it's very easy to change
to the modern mechanisms, so we agreed to remove the feature.

This is part of a campaign to reduce wakeups on idle systems.
