Extend MaintenanceWindows parameter usage (#2810)

Consider maintenance window when migrating master pods and replacing pods (rolling update)

 interface, following a restart of all instances.
 
+Rolling update is postponed until the next maintenance window if any is defined

 The operator also support lazy updates of the Spilo image. In this case the
 StatefulSet is only updated, but no rolling update follows. This feature saves
 you a switchover - and hence downtime - when you know pods are re-started later
