f8667c1aac doc: better explain where pg_bindir won't be applied
Basically any setting which can contain a user-defined script
*must* have the full path set, even if it's repmgr being executed.

We could potentially apply some heuristics to detect if the first
item in the setting is "repmgr" (or more precisely repmgrd's program
name), but this will require some careful thought and testing
that it works as intended.

33dedf4e96 repmgrd: always reopen log file after receiving SIGHUP
For whatever reason, since at least repmgr 2.0 the log file was only
ever reopened if a configuration file change took place.

69cb87322d doc: update repmgrd log rotation configuration
In the sample logrotate configuration file, use "copytruncate" rather than "create",
as repmgrd currently doesn't reopen the log file (unless the configuration changes).

Per suggestion in GitHub #465.

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.
