Can we instead expose this GUC in the neon extension under neon.recovery_pause_on_misconfig? Exposing a new, non-standard GUC outside the neon namespace seems wrong to me.

So, what's our solution here? We don't pause and just continue? We shut down?

This is misleading. You print a WARNING that says "recovery aborted", but it is not aborted.

The GUC name is misleading too: if it's 'on', you abort rather than pause here.
