For backward compatibility this feature is not enabled by default. To enable it you have to set `postgresql.use_unix_socket: true`.
If feature is enable, and `unix_socket_directories` is defined and non empty, Patroni will use the first suitable value from it to connect to the local postgres cluster.
If the `unix_socket_directories` is not defined, Patroni will assume that default value should be used and will not pass `host` to command line arguments and omit it from connection url.

In addition to mentioned above, this commit solves couple of bugs:
* manual failover with pg_rewind in a pause state was broken
* psycopg2 (or libpq, I am not really sure what exactly) doesn't mark cursors connection as closed when we use unix socket and there is an `OperationalError` occurs. We will close such connection on our own.
Previously we were running pg_rewind only in limited amount of cases:
* when we knew postgres was a master (no recovery.conf in data dir)
* when we were doing a manual switchover to a specific node (no
guaranty that this node is the most up-to-date)
* when a given node has nofailover tag (it could be ahead of new master)
This approach was kind of working in most of the cases, but sometimes we
were executing pg_rewind when it was not necessary and in some other
cases we were not executing it although it was needed.
The main idea of this PR is first try to figure out that we really need
to run pg_rewind by analyzing timelineid, LSN and history file on master
and replica and run it only if it's needed.
Originally Exhibitor was supported in the ZooKeeper class and
configuration for Exhibitor was taken also from `zookeeper` section in
the yaml config file. In fact, Exhibitor just extends ZooKeeper and now
it is reflected in the code and also Exhibitor got it's own section in
the config.yaml file. It will make it easier to configure Exhibitor
hosts and port via environment variables when PR#211 will be merged.
Without sudo travis is executing build tasks using docker and waiting
time in this case is really small, usually not longer then 10 seconds.
postgresql-9.5 is installed via addons.apt.packages (without sudo)
But ports 5432 and 5433 are busy. So I had to ajust environment.py to
assign port from higher diapason.
And a few words about build tasks:
First task is used for executing unit tests for all different python versions
The second one is used for executing acceptance tests against etcd
The third one is used for executing acceptance tests against zookeeper
acceptance tests are executed with python2.7 and python3.5
In addition that I've introduced caching of python virtual environment.
It really helps to reduce time needed to install python modules.
