Enhance the stability of detach_false_primary.
It was possible that enabling detach_false_primary caused that all
backend node went down.
Suppose watchdog is enabled and there are 3 watchdog nodes pgpool0,
pgpool1 and pgpool2. If pgpool0 and pgpool1 find primary PostgreSQL
goes down due to network trouble between pgpool and PostgreSQL, they
promote a standby node. pgpool2 could find that there are two primary
nodes because the backend status at pgpool2 has not been synced with
pgpool0 and pgpool1, and pgpool2 perform detach_false_primary against
the standby, which is being promoted.
To prevent the situation, now detach_false_primary is performed by only
watchdog leader node. With this, pgpool will not see half baked backend
status and the issue described above will not happen.
