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

Contributor names have always been presented in the release notes exactly as given, but we tried to assign internal IDs based on last/first name which can be hard to determine and ultimately doesn't make sense.
Inspired by Christophe Pettus' PostgresOpen 2017 talk, "Human Beings Do Not Have a Primary Key".
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 includes PostgreSQL installation which had previously been included in the documentation. This way produces faster builds and there is no need for us to document PostgreSQL installation.
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.
common/harnessLog was not ideally suited for general testing and made all the tests quite awkward. Instead, move all code used to test the common/log module into the logTest module and repurpose common/harnessLog to do log expect testing for all other tests in a cleaner way.
Add a few exceptions for config testing since the log levels are reset by default in config/parse.
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.
Use strtoll() instead of sprintf() for conversion. Also use available integer min/max constants rather than hard-coded values.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This release fixes a critical bug in the backup resume feature. All resumed backups prior to this release should be considered inconsistent. A backup will be resumed after a prior backup fails, unless resume=n has been specified. A resumed backup can be identified by checking the backup log for the message "aborted backup of same type exists, will be cleaned to remove invalid files and resumed". If the message exists, do not use this backup or any backup in the same set for a restore and check the restore logs to see if a resumed backup was restored. If so, there may be inconsistent data in the cluster.
Bug Fixes:
* Fix critical bug in resume that resulted in inconsistent backups. A regression in v0.82 removed the timestamp comparison when deciding which files from the aborted backup to keep on resume. See note above for more details. (Reported by David Youatt, Yogesh Sharma, Stephen Frost.)
* Fix error in selective restore when only one user database exists in the cluster. (Fixed by Cynthia Shang. Reported by Nj Baliyan.)
* Fix non-compliant ISO-8601 timestamp format in S3 authorization headers. AWS and some gateways were tolerant of space rather than zero-padded hours while others were not. (Fixed by Andrew Schwartz.)
Features:
* PostgreSQL 11 Beta 2 support.
Improvements:
* Improve the HTTP client to set content-length to 0 when not specified by the server. 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. (Suggested by Adam K. Sumner.)
* Set search_path = 'pg_catalog' on PostgreSQL connections. (Suggested by Stephen Frost.)
