There's no "SQL" way to know this, AFAICT. But I would love to be proven
wrong: I would be able to add this info to pgAdmin, which would be great.
What about doing a query like:
show wal_level;
If it shows hot_standby then that server should have been setup as master. As an extra step you can also check for archive_mode as well if its enabled or not.
