* Only activate watchdog while master and not paused We don't really need the protections while we are not master. This way we only need to tickle the watchdog when we are updating leader key or while demotion is happening. As implemented we might fail to notice to shut down the watchdog if someone demotes postgres and removes leader key behind Patroni's back. There are probably other similar cases. Basically if the administrator if being actively stupid they might get unexpected restarts. That seems fine. * Add configuration change support. Change MODE_REQUIRED to disable leader eligibility instead of closing Patroni. Changes watchdog timeout during the next keepalive when ttl is changed. Watchdog driver and requirement can also be switched online. When watchdog mode is `required` and watchdog setup does not work then the effect is similar to nofailover. Add watchdog_failed to status API to signify this. This is True only when watchdog does not work **AND** it is required. * Reset implementation when config changed while active. * Add watchdog safety margin configuration Defaults to 5 seconds. Basically this is the maximum amount of time that can pass between the calls to odcs.update_leader()` and `watchdog.keepalive()`, which are called right after each other. Should be safe for pretty much any sane scenario and allows the default settings to not trigger watchdog when DCS is not responding. * Cancel bootstrap if watchdog activation fails The system would have demoted itself anyway the next HA loop. Doing it in bootstrap gives at least some other node chance to try bootstrapping in the hope that it is configured correctly. If all nodes are unable to activate they will continue to try until the disk is filled with moved datadirs. Perhaps not ideal behavior, but as the situation is unlikely to resolve itself without administrator intervention it doesn't seem too bad.
