Redhat conf_dir detection was regressed in 57d7275 which inadvertently
removed the setting of @conf_dir. Any attempt to use the postgres
resource on RHEL would rain an exception:
Further, the redhat detection code appears to assume that RHEL always
uses versioned data directories. This however, does not appear to be the
case:
The code now can handle both versioned and un-versioned directory
formats on RHEL. Further, it provides diagnostic warnings about
uncertainty in the discovered data directories and configuration
directories.
Fixes #494
