Previously the witness database creation code was hard-coding the
username 'postgres' when accessing the previously initialised database.
However initdb was not passed any explicit username, meaning the
default database superuser name was the same as the user running
repmgr.
With this patch, a superuser user name (default: postgres) will
be passed to initdb.

On 9.4 we have logical decoding, which introduced a new wal_level called
logical. This level includes all the previous ones, so you can run a
hot_standby if wal_level = logical, because the relevant information for
hot_standby will be there, plus other information needed for logical
decoding.
We fix this be adding a second check when wal_level is not hot_standby.
Daemonizing changes the current working directory to '/',
which breaks configuration file parsing if the file is in
the previous working directory and provided without an
explicit path.
Also it makes general sense to parse the configuration file
before daemonizing.
If the user don't put that option in rsync_options using of "--force"
could be unsafe.
While the probability of failures because of this are low they aren't
zero.
we have to assume it's the DEFAULT_MASTER_PORT.
This was not done, so we added a check to see if it has a value that is
usable, else we use DEFAULT_MASTER_PORT.
Using '--exclude=dirname/*' to explicitly specify directories whose contents
should not be copied. This will result in empty directories being created
on the destination if they exist on the source, but that's not a problem as
they are needed anyway.
Previously the generated rsync command contained '--exclude=pg_log*', which
will break replication on 9.5 as the wildcard expansion prevents the
'pg_logical' directory from being copied.
While reading node entries from master use a separate PGresult when inserting into witness.
Witness monitoring supplies a null value for 'last_apply_time'.
In the past naming of functions, variables and such didn't really have a
naming scheme. Now they should have.
This is backpatched from master (2.1dev) just because it will be easier
to backpatch other fixes.
