This commit is a breaking change:
1. `role` in DCS is written as "primary" instead of "master".
2. `role` in REST API responses is also written as "primary".
3. REST API no longer accepts role=master in requests (for example switchover/failover/restart endpoints).
4. `/metrics` REST API endpoint will no longer report `patroni_master`.
5. `patronictl` no longer accepts `--master` argument.
6. `no_master` option in declarative configuration of custom replica creation methods is no longer treated as a special option, please use `no_leader` instead.
7. `patroni_wale_restore` doesn't accept `--no_master` anymore.
8. `patroni_barman` doesn't accept `--role=master` anymore.
9. callback scripts will be executed with role=primary instead of role=master
10. On Kubernetes Patroni by default will set role label to primary. In case if you want to keep old behavior and avoid downtime or lengthy complex migrations you can configure `kubernetes.leader_label_value` and `kubernetes.standby_leader_label_value` to `master`.
However, a few exceptions regarding master are still in place:
1. `GET /master` REST API endpoint will continue to work.
2. `master_start_timeout` and `master_stop_timeout` in global configuration are still accepted.
3. `master` tag is still preserved in Consul services in addition to `primary`.
Rationale for these exceptions: DBA doesn't always 100% control the infrastructure and can't adjust the configuration.
keep as much backward compatibility as possible.
Following changes were made:
1. All internal checks are performed as `role in ('master', 'primary')`
2. All internal variables/functions/methods are renamed
3. `GET /metrics` endpoint returns `patroni_primary` in addition to `patroni_master`.
4. Logs are changed to use leader/primary/member/remote depending on the context
5. Unit-tests are using only role = 'primary' instead of 'master' to verify that 1 works.
6. patronictl still supports old syntax, but also accepts `--leader` and `--primary`.
7. `master_(start|stop)_timeout` is automatically translated to `primary_(start|stop)_timeout` if the last one is not set.
8. updated the documentation and some examples
Future plan: in the next major release switch role name from `master` to `primary` and maybe drop `master` altogether.
The Kubernetes implementation will require more work and keep two labels in parallel. Label values should probably be configurable as described in https://github.com/zalando/patroni/issues/2495.
