The LSB spec doesn't say anything about a "promote" action.

And for the stop and reload actions that you tried to change, 3 is
"unimplemented".

There is an ongoing discussion about the exit status of the stop action
under <https://commitfest.postgresql.org/action/patch_view?id=1045>, so
let's keep this item about the "promote" action.
