Hi Alexey,

I would like to suggest a couple of changes to docs and comments, please
see the attachment.
The "...or fetched on startup" part also seems wrong here, but it's not
a part of your patch, so I'm going to ask about it on psql-docs separately.

It might also be useful to reword the following error messages:
- "using restored from archive version of file \"%s\""
- "could not open restored from archive file \"%s\"
We could probably say something like "could not open file \"%s\"
restored from WAL archive" instead.

On a more general note, I wonder if everyone is happy with the
--using-postgresql-conf option name, or we should continue searching for
a narrower term. Unfortunately, I don't have any better suggestions
right now, but I believe it should be clear that its purpose is to fetch
missing WAL files for target. What do you think?
