While the restore_command will never be called for partial WAL segments we should sitll make sure to decrypt them when archiving so a sysadmin manually could use them. As the comemnt explains we also add the same logic to the restore command for symmetry and if someone ever would call it manually or PostgreSQL would add support for restoring partial WAL segments.
