As that's what we really want to know. Also return "UNCLEAN_SHUTDOWN"
if that's the case, rather than "RUNNING" which is confusing, even
though it's a command for internal use.
There are now too many options to sensibly fit into general --help
output; we'll add separate output for each repmgr command, e.g.
"repmgr node --help".
"standby follow" was originally co-opted to start up a demoted node;
this functionality is now delegated to "node rejoin", with the core
functionality of "standby follow" implemented as an internal function.
If the current primary (demotion candidate) still has any files to archive,
it will delay the shutdown until all files are archived. If there is a
substantial number of files, and/or the archive command executes slowly,
this will probably lead to an unwelcome delay in the switchover process.
The repmgr3 implementation required the promotion candidate (standby)
to directly work with the demotion candidate's data directory,
directly execute server control commands etc.
Here we delegated a lot more of that work to the repmgr on the
demotion candidate, which reduces the amount of back-and-forth
over SSH and generally makes things cleaner and smoother.
In particular the repmgr on the demotion candidate will carry
out a thorough check that the node is shut down and report
the last checkpoint LSN to the promotion candidate; this
can then be used to determine whether pg_rewind needs to be
executed on the demoted primary before reintegrating it back
into the cluster (todo).
Also implement "--dry-run" for this action, which will sanity-check the
nodes as far as possible without executing the switchover.
Additionally some of the new repmgr node commands (or command options)
introduced for this can be also executed by the user to obtain
additional information about the status of each node.
Also add configuration file option "pgdata" for hard-coding the
node's data directory - if the "repmgr" DB user isn't a superuser
or doesn't have permission to extract the data directory, we'll
need another way of finding out.
This is needed for better switchover control, so we can instruct
the remote repmgr to issue the appropriate server command rather
than trying to work out what it should be from the local node.
