Add configuration parameter "repmgr_bindir"

This is to facilitate remote invocation of repmgr when the repmgr
binary is located somewhere other than the PostgreSQL binary directory, as it
cannot be assumed all package maintainers will install repmgr there.

This parameter is optional; if not set (the default), repmgr will fall back
to "pg_bindir" (if set).

Addresses GitHub #246.

For Debian-based distributions we recommend explictly setting

not in the standard path are located. For PostgreSQL 9.6 this would be <filename>/usr/lib/postgresql/9.6/bin/</filename>.

If your distribution places the &repmgr; binaries in a location other than the
PostgreSQL installation directory, specify this with <option>repmgr_bindir</option>
to enable &repmgr; to perform operations (e.g.
<command><link linkend="repmgr-cluster-crosscheck">repmgr cluster crosscheck</link></command>)
on other nodes.
