Integrate pgbackrest to Omnibus package

Release notes

Problem to solve

It takes very long time for database backup when the database is growing large. For example, it takes more than 25 minutes for backup when the database size is about 80GB.

Proposal

Use pgbackrest instead of pg_dump for database backup. Pgbackrest is much more efficient than pg_dump. Integrate pgbackrest to Omnibus package with the pgbackrest configuration in gitlab.rb
