Permanent replication slots (#819)

Permanent replication slots are preserved on failover/switchover, that is Patroni on the new primary will create configured replication slots right after doing promote.

Slots could be configured with the help of `patronictl edit-config`.
The initial configuration could be also done in the `bootstrap.dcs`

```yaml
slots:
  permanent_physical_1:
    type: physical
  permanent_logical_1:
    type: logical
    database: foo
    plugin: pgoutput
```

It is the responsibility of the operator to make sure that there are no clashes in names between replication slots automatically created by Patroni for members and permanent replication slots.
