* Added check for pg_checkpoint role presence
This commit provides the needed infrastructure in `repmgr` so if the `repmgr` database
user is a member of the `pg_checkpoint` role, and inherits its privileges, there is no
need for such a user to be a superuser.

If the primary changed while the witness repmgrd was not running,
ensure the witness's upstream node ID is updated when the witness
repmgrd is restarted.
This release added support for pg-backup-api. Here we add the
release notes which expose the new feature.

I added a paragraph at the beginning of the section on where to look for
instructions on how to install the pg-backup-api rest API.
Fixed typos and some gramatical changes. Also reworded the first paragraph
(which is now the second one).

Module to provide communication with a server in order to send new
tasks and query them.
pg-backup-api is a REST api that at the moment, is integrated with
barman only, and can provide a communication interface in order to
perform remote recoveries through background tasks. There are cases
where instead of writing a new repmgr module of some feature that
exists in backup tools already, like barman, pg-backup-api can
provide that integration.
Sonarqube has been failing for some time (seems like a user/credential
problem).
There will be discussion on how we'll resolve this, but that will be
sometime in the future. For now we are just removing the action.

We are checking for sed amd other external tools inside configure script,
now is turn of flex.
In systems without flex you will have this error:
gcc -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Wdeclaration-after-statement
[...]
postgresql/internal -Wdate-time -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -D_GNU_SOURCE -I/usr/include/libxml2 -c -o configfile.o configfile.c
flex -o'configfile-scan.c' configfile-scan.l
make: flex: No such file or directory
make: *** [Makefile.global:40: configfile-scan.c] Error 127
Fixed a mising closing quote and closing parenthesis in the repmgrd overview
section of the documentation.

Anyone still using PostgreSQL 9.4 should re-examine their life choices
at this point, but as it is not yet de-supported by repmgr, consolidate
the references to it whenever pg_rewind is mentioned to a single
section.
