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.
