Conditionally generate public_attributes.json

What does this MR do?

Conditionally generate public_attributes.json. When skip-auto-reconfigure is set, the file was still being generated, but without the full calculation of attributes. On Patroni node upgrades, this would break gitlab-ctl patroni commands until a full reconfigure was run since the upgrade will run the postgresql-bin recipe without all of the attributes.

Current state

On a node with patroni enabled:

  1. gitlab-ctl patroni members should work
  2. Run touch /etc/gitlab/skip-auto-reconfigure
  3. Run gitlab-ctl upgrade (to simulate a package upgrade)
  4. Running gitlab-ctl patroni members should fail
  5. Run gitlab-ctl reconfigure
  6. gitlab-ctl patroni members should work again

Expected state
