Ian Barwick 8f6058c676 standby switchover: check replication configuration file ownership ...

Within a PostgreSQL data directory, all files should have the same
ownership as the data directory itself. PostgreSQL itself expects
this, and ownership of files by another user is likely to cause
problems.

In PostgreSQL 11 or earlier, if "recovery.conf" cannot be moved
by PostgreSQL (because e.g. it is owned by root), it will not be
possible to promote the standby to primary.

In PostgreSQL 12 and later, if "postgresql.auto.conf" on the demotion
candidate (current primary) has incorrect ownership (e.g. owned by
root), repmgr will very likely not be able to modify this file and
write the replication configuration required for the node to rejoin
the cluster as a standby.

Checks added to catch both cases before a switchover is executed.
