Create the 'postgres' superuser

Browse source 
Old PostgreSQL installations were created using the 'root' database
user. In this case, we need to create a new 'postgres' account, as we
now assume that this is the superuser account.

Unfortunately, these machines will be left with a 'root' user as
well (which will have ownership of some databases). While PostgreSQL
does let you rename superuser accounts, you can only do that when you
are connected as a *different* database user. Thus we'd have to create a
special superuser account to do the renaming. As we default to using
ident authentication, we would have to create a system level user to do
this. This all feels rather complex, so I'm currently opting to keep the
'root' user on these old machines.
