Added check for pg_checkpoint role presence (#807)

* Added check for pg_checkpoint role presence

This commit provides the needed infrastructure in `repmgr` so if the `repmgr` database
user is a member of the `pg_checkpoint` role, and inherits its privileges, there is no 
need for such a user to be a superuser.
