Checking if initdb has already been run before. If not, a new cluster will be created.

This user must also own the server process.

The database cluster will be initialized with locale "en_US.UTF-8".
The default database encoding has accordingly been set to "UTF8".
The default text search configuration will be set to "english".

--auth-local and --auth-host, the next time you run initdb.
