There is a known [vector of attact](https://pganalyze.com/blog/5mins-postgres-security-patch-releases-pgspot-pghostile) by creating functions and/or operators in a public scheme with the same name and signature as corresponding objects in `pg_catalog`. Since Patroni is heavily relying on superuser connections we want to mitigate it by enforcing `search_path=pg_catalog` for all connections created by Patroni (except replication connections). It is achieved by introducing a new function, that wraps psycopg.connect() and appends ` -c search_path=pg_catalog` to `options` parameter. In addition to that, we set connection.autocommit to True before returning it.
