If an error occurred while acquiring a lock on a remote server the error would be reported correctly, but the queue max detection code was not reached. The tests failed to detect this because they fixed the connection before queue max, allowing the ccde to be reached.
Move the queue max code before the lock so it will run even when remote connections are not working. This means that no attempt will be made to transfer WAL once queue max has been exceeded, but it makes it much more likely that the code will be reach without error.
Update tests to continue errors up to the point where queue max is exceeded.

The standard npm packages on Ubuntu 18.04 suddenly required libssl1.0 which broke the pgbackrest package builds. Installing nodejs from deb.nodesource.com seems to work fine with standard libssl.
This package is required by ScalityS3 which is used for local S3 testing.
PostgreSQL 11 introduces configurable WAL segment sizes, from 1MB to 1GB.
There are two areas that needed to be updated to support this: building the archive-get queue and checking that WAL has been archived after a backup. Both operations require the WAL segment size to properly build a list.
Checking the archive after a backup is still implemented in Perl and has an active database connection, so just get the WAL segment size from the database.
The archive-get command does not have a connection to the database, so get the WAL segment size from pg_control instead. This requires a deeper inspection of pg_control than has been done in the past, so it seemed best to copy the relevant data structures from each version of PostgreSQL and build a generic interface layer to address them. While this approach is a bit verbose, it has the advantage of being relatively simple, and can easily be updated for new versions of PostgreSQL.
Since the integration tests generate pg_control files for testing, teach Perl how to generate files with the correct offsets for both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures.
Use checksums rather than timestamps to determine if files have changed. This is useful in cases where the timestamps may not be trustworthy, e.g. when performing an incremental after failing over to a standby.
If checksum delta is enabled then checksums will be used for verification of resumed backups, even if they are full. Resumes have always used checksums to verify the files in the repository, enabling delta performs checksums on the database files as well.
Note that the user must manually enable this feature in cases were it would be useful or just keep in enabled all the time. A future commit will address automatically enabling the feature in cases where it seems likely to be useful.

Apparently we never needed to run this function remotely.
It will be needed by the backup checksum delta feature, so implement it now.

This is a workaround for inefficient handling of many setjmps in gcc >= 4.9. Setjmp is used in all error handling, but in the unit tests each test macro contains an error handling block so they add up pretty quickly for large unit tests.
Enabling -ftree-coalesce-vars in affected versions reduces build time and memory requirements by nearly an order of magnitude. Even so, compiles are much slower than gcc <= 4.8.
We submitted a bug for this at: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=87316
Which was marked as a duplicate of: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=63155
For read-only repositories the Posix and CIFS drivers behave exactly the same. Since that's all we support in C right now it's valid to treat them as the same thing. An assertion has been added to remind us to add the CIFS driver before allowing the repository to be writable.
Mostly we want to make sure that the C code does not blow up when the repository type is CIFS.
Storing the expect log (created by common/harnessLog) in the regular test directory was not ideal. It showed up in tests and made it difficult to clear the test directory between each run.
Move the expect log to a purpose-built directory one level up so it does not interfere with regular testing.
C or Perl coverage tests can now be run on any VM provided a recent enough version of Devel::Cover or lcov is available.
For now, leave u18 as the only VM to run coverage tests due to some issues with older versions of lcov.
% characters caused issues in backup/restore due to filenames being appended directly into a format string.
Reserved XML characters (<>&') caused issues in the S3 driver due to improper escaping.
Add a file with all common special characters to regression testing.
By default Valgrind does not exit with an error code when a non-fatal error is detected, e.g. unfreed memory. Use the --error-exitcode option to enabled this behavior.
Update some minor issues discovered in the tests as a result. Luckily, no issues were missed in the core code.
The new archive-get C code can't run (yet) when encryption is enabled. Therefore move the encryption tests so we can test the new C code. We'll move it back when encryption is enabled in C.
Also, push one WAL segment with compression to test decompression in the C code.
A return code of 1 from the archive-get was being logged as an error message at info level but otherwise worked correctly.
Also improve info messages when an archive segment is or is not found.
Previously an error would be generated if other files were present and not owned by the PostgreSQL user. This hasn't been a big deal in practice but it could cause issues.
Also add tests to make sure the same logic applies with links to files, i.e. all other files in the directory should be ignored. This was actually working correctly, but there were no tests for it before.
The log-subprocess feature added in 22765670 failed to take into account the naming for remote processes spawned by local processes. Not only was the local command used for the naming of log files but the process id was not pass through. This meant every remote log was named "[stanza]-local-remote-000" which is confusing and meant multiple processes were writing to the same log.
Instead, pass the real command and process id to the remote. This required a minor change in locking to ignore locks if process id is greater than 0 since remotes started by locals never lock.
Relative link paths were being combined with the paths of previous links (relative or absolute) due to the $strPath variable being modified in the current iteration rather than simply being passed to the next level of recursion.
This issue did not affect absolute links and relative tablespace links were caught by other checks, though the error was confusing.

Offline operation runs counter to the purpose of this command, which is to check if archiving and backups are working correctly.

Implemented using the same logic as the patches adding this feature to PostgreSQL, 8694cc96 and 920a5e50. Temporary relation exclusion is enabled in PostgreSQL ≥ 9.0. Unlogged relation exclusion is enabled in PostgreSQL ≥ 9.1, where the feature was introduced.

This allows setting the test log level independently from the general test harness setting, but current only works for the C tests. It is useful for seeing log output from functions on the console while a test is running.
This is more efficient overall and allows the caller to specify how many bytes will be read on each call. Reads are appended if the buffer already contains data but the buffer size will never increase.
Allow Buffer object "used size" to be different than "allocated size". Add functions to manage used size and remaining size and update automatically when possible.
A regression in v0.82 removed the timestamp comparison when deciding which files from the aborted backup to keep on resume. All resumed backups should be considered inconsistent. A resumed backup can be identified by checking the log for the message "aborted backup of same type exists, will be cleaned to remove invalid files and resumed".

S3 (and gateways) always set content-length or transfer-encoding but HTTP 1.1 does not require it and proxies (e.g. HAProxy) may not include either.

* Build containers from scratch for more accurate testing.
* Allow environment load to be skipped.
* Allow bash wrapping to be skipped.
* Allow forcing a command to run as a user without sudo.
