Commits 6c4a8903b et al. had a couple of deficiencies: * The logic I added to Cluster::start to see if a PID file is present could be fooled by a stale PID file left over from a previous postmaster. To fix, if we're not sure whether we expect to find a running postmaster or not, validate the PID using "kill 0". * 017_shm.pl has a loop in which it just issues repeated Cluster::start calls; this will fail if some invocation fails but leaves self->_pid set. Per buildfarm results, the above fix is not enough to make this safe: we might have "validated" a PID for a postmaster that exits immediately after we look. Hence, match each failed start call with a stop call that will get us back to the self->_pid == undef state. Add a fail_ok option to Cluster::stop to make this work.
