Teach witness repmgrd to deal with the absence of a primary
...
Previously it would refuse to start if the primary was not reachable,
the thinking being that it's pointless trying to monitor an incomplete
cluster.
However following an aborted failover situation, repmgrd will restart
monitoring and on the witness server, this will lead to it aborting
itself due to to continuing absence of primary.
To resolve this, witness repmgrd will now start monitoring in degraded
mode if no primary is found in the hope a primary will reappear at
some point.

Previously, "repmgr witness register --dry-run" would attempt to check
for records in the nodes table, but that might not exist yet. Skip
that check if the repmgr extension is not yet installed.

"standby switchover": close all connections used to check repmgrd status
...
The connections used to check repmgrd status on all nodes were not being
closed if repmgrd was not running. Normally this wouldn't be a huge
problem as they will go away when repmgr terminates or the PostgreSQL
server restarted. However, if shutdown mode is "smart", the open
connection on the demotion candidate will cause the shutdown operation
to fail until repmgr times out.
