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.
Check it out and let me know what you think. Here is the Settings file with the YAML Config Settings:

We still need to do a bit more work on the intro paragraph to make Patroni's advantages/benefits a bit more clear. I also might do a bit more magic with the headers/subheads, to stack things a bit more clearly.
It should not call `recover` but `state_handler.follow` directly
(like it is already done in the `clone`).
Otherwise it tries to create a new thread and all async functionality
became borken...
where it is not necessary (test_ha, test_ctl, etc...)
It will simplyfy further refactoring and make it possible to install
implementations of AbstractDCS independant of each other.
Originally we were passing postgresql options as an argument of `pg_ctl
start`. It was nice and convenient because doesn't require to touch
configuration files but this method has one significant drawback: it
wasn't possible to change values of options which were passed as an
arguments without restart (event for the case when option reqires only
reload). Instead of doing that (passing options as arguments) we will:
1) rename original postgresql.conf to postgresql-base.conf
2) write options into postgresql.conf which has `include
'postgresql-base.conf'` on the the third line after comment that this
file is generated by Patroni and you should not change it manually
3) listen_addresses and port are still passed as an arguments to the
pg_ctl (just to be foolproof against ALTER SYSTEM set port to 'random')
In addition to that this commit makes some attributes of `Postgresql`
class private (prefixes them with _)
