c8ccaaa755 Fix PostgreSQL query performance for large datasets.
The asynchronous logic used to implement the query timeout was misusing PQisBusy(), which caused the wait handler to throttle the consumption of command results. It could introduce a large delay on a query up to `db-timeout` because of the back-off sequence.

Following the recommendation of libpq, fix by polling the client socket for data availability and then continue consuming results and checking for command busyness.

b3ca2e3482 Correctly display current values for indexed options in help.
The current value for an indexed option was always for the first index, e.g. pg1-path. This is likely legacy from before indexing was added (and faithfully copied over from Perl, apparently).

Fix this by enumerating the current values in the option help and displaying <multi> in the option list when more than one value exists.

278319eba3 Add performance tuning section to user guide.
We frequently tell users to enable to these options but they are spread through the documentation and not at all obvious. Hopefully putting them in the quick start will make them more visible and also provide an easy place to link.

b19134dccd Allow repositories on versioned storage to be read at a target time.
This feature allows the archive-get, info, repo-get, repo-ls, restore, and verify commands to operate at a point-in-time on versioned buckets in Azure, GCS, and S3. This allows recovery even if a repository has been accidentally or maliciously deleted or corrupted.

46c1297be3 Remove limitation on reading files in parallel during restore.
This restriction prevented multiple files being read from a remote simultaneously, which was not supported by the protocol. Although the limitation only applied to remotes, it was applied in all cases for testing purposes and because we planned to fix it.

Protocol command multiplexing added in df8cbc91 allows files to be read simultaneously from a remote so this restriction is no longer required.

Note that there is a test for this condition since the prior code had coverage. It might be tricky to ensure that test doesn't go away, but in general we should have enough tests in place to ensure simultaneous reads function as expected.

a42629f87a Allow requested standby backup to proceed with no standby.
Add a "prefer" value to the backup-standby option to allow the backup to proceed when no standby is found. Note that this will not help if the standby is responding but fails to sync with the primary after the backup has started.

Introduce a new option modifier, bool-like, that allows a boolean option to be converted to a string or string-id option while still allowing the option to act like a boolean on the command-line, e.g. --no-backup-standby.

b454b9e403 Save backup.info only when contents have changed.
This prevents backup.info from being saved again when expire does not make any changes.

More importantly, as we look to support versioning on object stores, it will be much easier to determine a good point-in-time to use for restore if there are no extraneous saves of backup.info.

95a4b9e10a Refresh web-id token for each S3 authentication.
The token file pointed to by the AWS_WEB_IDENTITY_TOKEN_FILE environment variable was read once at startup, but for long operations the token might expire before completion.

Instead read the token on each S3 authentication so the current token is always used.

60f96429b8 Fix segfault on delayed connection errors.
Connection errors could cause a segfault if the error was delayed enough to pass the initial call to sckClientOpenWait() and the error was instead thrown by a subsequent call to sckClientOpenWait(), which was not correctly initializing a variable required for error handling.

While this can be produced fairly easily in a test environment, I was unable to craft a unit test to hit this exact condition, probably due to timing. The new code still has full coverage and I added several comments to help prevent regressions.

ed9b0c260a Fix permissions when restore run as root user.
When restore was run as the root user the pg_control file would end up with root permissions. This bug was introduced in e634fd8. Fix this by directly overwriting the pg_control temp file rather than doing an atomic write that updates permissions. Also update other parameters to more closely match similar calls.

There was also an adjacent error where restore as the root user would fail if the base path did not exist. Fix this by ignoring the missing path since it will be created later and this logic is just trying to find an alternate user for permissions if the user in the manifest does not exist.

b306f83493 Summarize backup reference list for info command text output.
The backup reference list can be very long so it seems better to summarize the list by default for text output and keep the full list when --set is specified.

df8cbc91c3 Protocol command multiplexing.
Previously it was not possible to read or write two files at the same time on the same remote because the protocol was entirely taken over by the read or write command. Multiple reads are required to make restores efficient when a list of bundled files is being read but blocks need to be retrieved from a separate file or a different part of the same file.

Improve that situation with sessions that allow related commands to be run with shared state. Also break read/write into separate requests (rather than pushing all data at once) so they can be multiplexed.

The disadvantage for read/write is that they now require more back and forth to transfer a file. This is mitigated by sending asynchronous read/write requests to keep both server and client as busy as possible. Reads that can fit into a single buffer are optimized to transfer in a single command. Reads that transfer the entire file can also skip the close command since it is implicit on end-of-file.

These changes allow the protocol to be simplified to provide one response per request, which makes the data end message obsolete. Any data sent for the request is now added to the parameters so no data needs to be sent separately to the server outside the request parameters.

Also update the Db protocol to use the new sessions. Previously this code had tracked its own sessions.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The log-level-stderr option default has been changed from warn to off. This makes it easier to capture errors when only redirecting stdout. To preserve the prior behavior set log-level-stderr=warn.

NOTE TO PACKAGERS: The lz4 library is now required by the meson build.

dfb620b0b8 Support IP-based SANs for TLS certificate validation.
The prior SAN code only recognized DNS-based SANs, which meant that it would not properly validate if using an IP-based SAN. 

Add support for IPv4 and IPv6 SANs with exact matching only.

This simplifies testing when certificate generation tools have trouble generating a DNS:1.2.3.4-style SAN, preferring to include the SAN as IP:1.2.3.4.

d6f0bf88af Fix SFTP renaming failure when file already exists.
Update error handling for libssh2_sftp_rename_ex() in storageWriteSftpClose() when a file already exists. 

The SFTP servers used during development and testing never returned LIBSSH2_FX_FILE_ALREADY_EXISTS, rather they returned LIBSSH2_FX_FAILURE when a file already existed. However, it is clear that some SFTP servers use LIBSSH2_FX_FILE_ALREADY_EXISTS so add support.

edd61636a9 Allow backups to run concurrently on different repositories.
The prior locking only allowed one backup per stanza, which was required by PostgreSQL <= 9.5 and didn't present a problem when only one stanza could be created.

Now that multiple stanzas are allowed relax this restriction so that backups can run concurrently for PostgreSQL > 9.5. To do this, update the locking to be per stanza and repo rather than per stanza. Remotes are not aware of the repos that require locking so send an explicit list of files to be locked to the remote. Also remove the advisory lock for PostgreSQL > 9.5.

For info output the running backups are combined for progress output in order to avoid changing the JSON format. It definitely makes sense to have per repo progress as well but that will be left for a future commit.

7d54073094 Default log-level-stderr option to off.
Writing warnings and errors to stderr by default leads to error messages being lost when the user does not correctly redirect stderr while generating logs for analysis. This happens so often that it seems worth changing the default to increase the quality of the logs we receive.

If the user has explicitly set log-level-stderr then there is no change in behavior.

1094aecab5 Require compiler support for __builtin_clzl() and __builtin_bswap64().

0c32757fd9 Require the lz4 library in the meson build.
We would like to use lz4 for protocol compression instead of gz but first we need to make sure this is not going to cause a problem for packaging.

To do this make lz4 required in meson but make no changes to the code so this is an easy revert for packagers if there is an issue.

cfb8aa202e Add remote locks for stanza commands missed in 31c7824a.
31c7824a should have added remote locks when the commands were modified to run remotely. This is unlikely to have caused issues since these commands are generally not run concurrently with backup/expire but having the locks is safer.

270dce41b6 Refactor lock module.
Refactor the lock module to split command-specific logic from the basic file locking functionality. Command specific logic is now in command/lock.c. This will make it easier to implement new features such as repository locking and updating lock file contents on remotes.

This implementation is essentially a drop-in replacement but there are a few differences. First, the lock names no longer require a path (the path is added in the lock module). Second, the timeout functionality has been removed since it was not being used.

ad7377c75b Fix issue with files larger on the replica than on the primary.
If a file on the primary was larger than on the replica then the next diff/incr backup would store the primary size instead of the replica size when block incremental was enabled. On the next diff/incr backup this would lead to a repo size must be > 0 for file error when validating the manifest.

Fix this by limiting copy based on sizeOriginal rather than size so size can be set to the value expected to be stored in the manifest. As a bonus sizePrior is no longer needed since size can be used for the same purpose.

4ac3b82c99 Allow alternative WAL segment sizes for PostgreSQL <= 10.
Alternative WAL segment sizes can be configured in PostgreSQL <= 10 with compile-time options. We have not allowed these before since it was not a well-tested feature of PostgreSQL.

However, forks such as Greenplum allow alternative WAL segment sizes at initdb time (which are presumably well-tested) so it makes sense to allow it.

Since the PostgreSQL versions in question are all EOL it is not important to have this restriction in place anymore.

Also update the key location for the yum.p.o repository.

Lastly, shuffle test PostgreSQL versions since PostgreSQL 11 is not longer available in the yum.p.o repository.
