63242e2277 doc: update documentation of "promote_command" and "service_promote_command"
The documentation implied it would override "promote_command", which is
not the case.

"promote_command" is used by repmgrd to execute "repmgr standby promote"
(either directly or via a custom script).

"service_promote_command" can be set to specify a package-level service
command to promote the local PostgreSQL instance from standby to primary,
e.g. Debian's pg_ctlcluster. If set, this will be executed by "repmgr standby promote".

Also update code comments to clarify usage.

Related to GitHub #473.

802755fd60 repmgrd: daemonize process by default
It's hard to imagine a use case where this isn't desirable, but
in case, for whatever reason, the user does not wish to daemonize the
process, the command line option "--daemonize=false" can be provided.

Implements GitHub #458.
