repmgrd: don't consider nodes where repmgrd is not running

Browse Source 
If, for whatever reason, repmgrd is not running on a node, but that
node qualifies as promotion candidate, failover will not take place
as that node will never promote itself.

We therefore discount nodes where repmgrd is running as promotion
candidates, which will ensure one node is always promoted.

There is a slight risk here that the node(s) where repmgrd is not running
are further ahead, leading to a timeline fork. It might be possible
to mitigate that by having the "election" leader perform the promote
(or follow) operation.

Previously, if <application>repmgrd</application> was not running on a node, but
that node qualified as the promotion candidate, it would never be promoted due to
