[ngw] promote secondary to primary

[Randy Grein]

Thanks for checking. I have no idea what's going on, on windows  
connected to the primary convert secondary to primary is available -  
but then it wants to connect to the secondary to complete. I'll try  
mounting the primary from the linux server and see how that works. Day  
off for me (unpaid furlough day due to budget cuts) but still working...
