services: postgresql: Log from pg_ctl.postgres-pg_ctl-logging
pg_ctl will output errors when starting PostgreSQL, for example about errors in the configuration file. Without getting pg_ctl to log to a file, I'm not sure how to find those errors. * gnu/services/databases.scm (postgresql-activation): Create /var/log/postgresql. (postgresql-shepherd-service): Pass --log=/var/log/postgresql/pg_ctl to pg_ctl.
