Our documentation hasn't really caught up with the fact that non-exclusive backups can now be taken using pg_start_backup and pg_stop_backup even on standbys. Update, also correcting some errors introduced by 52f8a59dd953c6820baf153e97cf07d31b8ac1d6. Updates to the 9.6 documentation are needed as well, but that will need a separate patch as some things are different on that version.
