This is not entirely correct answer. The LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST parameter has
never supported "location=" syntax, it is reserved for log_archive_dest_1
to log_archive_dest_5 parameters, together with the state parameter
(log_archive_dest_state_x, x in {1,2,3,4,5}). The log_archive_dest parameter
itself is a legacy parameter inherited from v6 and v7 and it should be
replaced by the new parameters which allow for the log multiplexing.
