Add shm_volume option (#427)

Add possibility to mount a tmpfs volume to /dev/shm to avoid issues like
[this](https://github.com/docker-library/postgres/issues/416). To achieve that
two new options were introduced:

* `enableShmVolume` to PostgreSQL manifest, to specify whether or not mount
this volume per database cluster

* `enable_shm_volume` to operator configuration, to specify whether or not mount
per operator.

The first one, `enableShmVolume` takes precedence to allow us to be more flexible.

that should be assigned to the cluster pods. When not specified, the value
is taken from the `pod_priority_class_name` operator parameter, if not set
then the default priority class is taken. The priority class itself must be defined in advance.
* **enableShmVolume**
Start a database pod without limitations on shm memory. By default docker
limit `/dev/shm` to `64M` (see e.g. the [docker
issue](https://github.com/docker-library/postgres/issues/416), which could be
not enough if PostgreSQL uses parallel workers heavily. If this option is
present and value is `true`, to the target database pod will be mounted a new
tmpfs volume to remove this limitation. If it's not present, the decision
about mounting a volume will be made based on operator configuration
(`enable_shm_volume`, which is `true` by default). It it's present and value
is `false`, then no volume will be mounted no matter how operator was
configured (so you can override the operator configuration).
