This direct interface to libpq allows simple queries to be run against PostgreSQL and supports timeouts.
Testing is performed using a shim that can use scripted responses to test all aspects of the client code. The shim will be very useful for testing backup scenarios on complex topologies.

ScalityS3 has not received any maintenance in years and is slow to start which is bad for testing. Replace it with minio which starts quickly and ships as a single executable or a tiny container.
Minio has stricter limits on allowable characters but should still provide enough coverage to show that our encoding is working correctly.
This commit also includes the upgrade to openssl 1.1.1 in the Ubuntu 18.04 container.
Use autoconf to provide a basic configure script. WITH_BACKTRACE is yet to be migrated to configure and the unit tests still use a custom Makefile.
Each C file must include "build.auto.conf" before all other includes and defines. This is enforced by test.pl for includes, but it won't detect incorrect define ordering.
Update packages to call configure and use standard flags to pass options.
DESTDIR always had /usr/bin appended which was a problem systems that don't use /usr/bin as the install location for binaries.
Instead, use the value of DESTDIR exactly and update the Debian packages accordingly.
