Maybe the pidfile is written into the cluster version-based directory
instead of the data directory. Best figure out what exactly writes the
pidfile, whether systemd is used for starting (which would of course be
a prime suspect as it says it’s explicitly not used for stopping), etc.

Maybe this is indeed a bug in whatever determines the pidfile path,
perhaps not; is it supposed to live within the data directory?
