Move command begin to C except when it must be called after another command in Perl (e.g. expire after backup). Command begin logs correctly for complex data types like hash and list. Specify which commands will log to file immediately and set the default log level for log messages that are common to all commands. File logging is initiated from C.
Required to test restores on the backup server, a fairly common scenario.
Improve the restore function to accept optional parameters rather than a long list of parameters. In passing, clean up extraneous use of strType and strComment variables.
The existing static files would not work with 32-bit or big-endian systems so create functions to generate these files dynamically rather than creating a bunch of new static files.
The archive_status directory is now recreated on restore to support PostgreSQL 8.3 which does not recreate it automatically like more recent versions do.
Also fixed log checking after PostgreSQL shuts down to include FATAL messages and disallow immediate shutdowns which can throw FATAL errors in the log.

* More optimized container suite that greatly improves build time.
* Added static Debian packages for Devel::Cover to reduce build time.
* Add deprecated state for containers. Deprecated containers may only be used to build packages.
* Remove Debian 8 from CI because it does not provide additional coverage over Ubuntu 14.04 and Ubuntu 16.04.
The options accommodate systems where CAs are not automatically found by IO::Socket::SSL, i.e. RHEL7, or to load custom CAs.
Suggested by Scott Frazer.
* Combine hardlink and non/compressed in synthetic tests to reduce test time and improve coverage.
* Change log level of hardlink logging to detail.
* Cast size in S3 manifest to integer.
