Fix rolling update deadlock when pods are stuck in non-running state

[annielzy]

Problem

The postgres-operator can enter a permanent deadlock state where pods that need
recreation are never recreated because the Patroni API safety checks fail on
non-running pods.

This occurs when:

1. The operator upgrades and updates the StatefulSet template (e.g. changing a
   secret reference from postgres-operator-<VERSION A>-secret to
   postgres-operator-<VERSION B>-secret)
2. The operator marks pods with the zalando-postgres-operator-rolling-update-required
   annotation
3. The operator crashes or restarts before it can execute recreatePods to
   complete the rolling update
4. The old secret is removed as part of the operator upgrade
5. The pod restarts and enters CreateContainerConfigError because the old secret
   no longer exists
6. On subsequent syncs, syncPatroniConfig and restartInstances fail because
   they cannot reach the Patroni API on the non-running pod
7. These failures set isSafeToRecreatePods = false, which blocks recreatePods
8. The pod can only be fixed by recreation, but recreation is blocked — deadlock

This affects both single-node and multi-node clusters. In a 3-node cluster, one
broken pod blocks the rolling update of all pods, including the healthy ones.

Root Cause

syncStatefulSet unconditionally sets isSafeToRecreatePods = false when
syncPatroniConfig or restartInstances returns any error. It does not
distinguish between:

• A genuinely unhealthy Patroni cluster where recreation would be risky
• Expected errors from non-running pods that can never be reached via the API

Fix

pod.go

• Add podIsNotRunning() helper that checks if a pod is stuck in a non-running
  state (e.g. CreateContainerConfigError, CrashLoopBackOff, ImagePullBackOff,
  terminated containers, non-Running phase)
• Add allPodsRunning() helper used by syncStatefulSet to determine if Patroni
  API errors are expected
• In recreatePods, skip the switchover attempt when the master pod is not running,
  since the Patroni API is unreachable and Patroni has likely already triggered
  automatic failover

sync.go

• When syncPatroniConfig or restartInstances fails, only set
  isSafeToRecreatePods = false if all pods are actually running. If some pods
  are not running, the Patroni API errors are expected and should not block the
  pod recreation that would fix them.

Behavior change summary

Scenario	Before	After
All pods running, Patroni sync fails	Postpone ✅	Postpone ✅ (unchanged)
1-node: master in CreateContainerConfigError	Deadlock ❌	Recreate master ✅
3-node: 1 replica broken, others healthy	All 3 postponed ❌	All 3 recreated via normal rolling update ✅
3-node: master broken, replicas healthy	All 3 postponed ❌	Skip switchover, recreate all ✅
3-node: all pods broken	All postponed ❌	Recreate all ✅

Testing

• Added TestPodIsNotRunning — verifies detection of various non-running states
  (CreateContainerConfigError, CrashLoopBackOff, ImagePullBackOff, terminated
  containers, mixed container states, pending/failed phase)
• Added TestAllPodsRunning — verifies correct behavior with all-running,
  mixed, all-broken, and empty pod lists

Thanks @annielzy for this nice contribution. We were also aware of this limitation for a cluster to repair itself. Could you test the following scenario? Pick a Spilo docker image that does not exist. The first pod to be replaced should fail to come back because of the "broken" image. What would happen on the next SYNC cycle? I think the operator would then continue with the next pod until the cascading failure is complete.

However, with your code a revert of the image would then work because the pods are getting recreated, which is a big plus.
