This has the merit to put all the documentation of the project into a
single banner, and to centralize all the project in a single place at
code level.
Compiling documentation can be made by setting the variables ASCIIDOC
and XMLTO. As PostgreSQL extension system is not that smart for doc
generation, some custom Makefile path is used to install man pages into
a folder that could directly by used in MANPATH.
The system function used up to now was pg_xlogfile_name_offset, which
cannot be used on a node in recovery, and it was the only way present
to fetch the timeline ID of a backup, either incremental or full. So
instead scan the control file of server and fetch the timeline from
that. This also removes the restriction on which a backup could not
be taken on a standby node. The next step being to have the possibility
to take backups from streams.
