In "standby clone", if a conninfo string was provided, this was passed
as-is to pg_basebackup - rewrite conninfo string to include the
value passed with --replication-user, if provided.
Function was created but never actually used, resulting in incorrect
values for "communication_time_lag" in the "repl_status" view.
This appears to have been an oversight in the original commit
( c3b58658ad ).
Addresses GitHub #290
If `pg_bindir` is not explicitly provided, the remote `ls` command
will be `ls pg_rewind`, which will very likely not find pg_rewind.
In this case execute `which pg_rewind` to confirm it's in the default
path.
Addresses GitHub #267.
When 'repmgr standby follow' is run on a dormant server, with connection
parameters for the upstream node provided (which is done during the
switchover process to reintegrate the stopped former master into the
replication cluster), a spurious error message is generated about
a slot which cannot be deleted as it's active. During the switchover
process the current master's (former standby's) slot on the former master
is deleted at a later point so can be skipped here.
The error message is annoying but harmless and has no effect on the
switchover process.
Addresses GitHub #285.
Rather than set this for individual connections, we'll change the setting
each time a connection is made (except replication connections), which will
obviate the need to take this into consideration when making connections
in the application code.
Resolves GitHub #276.
In particular, copy_remote_files() would report any kind of non-zero
exit status from rsync as an error, even though when cloning data
directories and tablespaces we explicitly ignore the "vanished
files" status (code 24) as it's expected behaviour for files in these
locations to disappear during the rsync copy process.

HISTORY
In particular suppress any error messages encountered when trying to
connect to the old upstream node, as these are not critical and
will lead to confusion.
The intent was to avoid maintaining duplicate code, but this approach
makes it difficult to build Debian packages (see GitHub #261).
As the functions in question are quite compact and unlikely to change,
we'll just use the adapted versions provided for 9.5 and earlier.
