Run more linters in the gometalinter, i.e. deadcode, megacheck,
nakedret, dup.
More consistent code formatting, remove two dead functions, eliminate
naked a bunch of naked returns, refactor a few functions to avoid code
duplication.
There are shortcuts in this code, i.e. we created the deepcopy function
by using the deepcopy package instead of the generated code, that will
be addressed once migrated to client-go v8. Also, some objects,
particularly statefulsets, are still taken from v1beta, this will also
be addressed in further commits once the changes are stabilized.
Call Patroni API /config in order to set special options that are
ignored when set in the configuration file, such as max_connections.
Per https://github.com/zalando-incubator/postgres-operator/issues/297
* Some minor refacoring:
Rename Cluster ManualFailover to Swithover
Rename Patroni Failover to Switchover

There used to be a masterLess flag that was supposed to indicate whether the cluster it belongs to runs without the acting master by design. At some point, as we didn't really have support for such clusters, the flag has been misused to indicate there is no master in the cluster. However, that was not done consistently (a cluster without all pods running would never be masterless, even when the master is not among the running pods) and it was based on the wrong assumption that the masterless cluster will remain masterless until the next attempt to change that flag, ignoring the possibility of master coming up or some node doing a successful promotion. Therefore, this PR gets rid of that flag completely.
When the cluster is running with 0 instances, there is obviously no master and it makes no sense to create any database objects inside the non-existing master. Therefore, this PR introduces an additional check for that.
recreatePods were assuming that the roles of the pods recorded when the function has stared will not change; for instance, terminated replica pods should start as replicas. Revisit that assumption by looking at the actual role of the re-spawned pods; that avoids a failover if some replica has promoted to the master role while being re-spawned. In addition, if the failover from the old master was unsuccessful, we used to stop and leave the old master running on an old pod, without recording this fact anywhere. This PR makes the failover failure emit a warning, but not stop recreating the last master pod; in the worst case, the running master will be terminated, however, this case is rather unlikely one.
As a side effect, make waitForPodLabel return the pod definition it waited for, avoiding extra API calls in recreatePods and movePodFromEndOfLifeNode
