S3 key options (repo1-s3-key/repo1-s3-key-secret) were not required which meant that users got an ugly assertion when they were missing rather than a tidy configuration error.
Only the local/remote commands need them to be optional. This is because local/remote commands get all their options from the command line but secrets cannot be passed on the command line. Instead, secrets are passed to the local/remote commands via the protocol for any operation that needs them.
The configuration system allows required to be set per command so use that to improve the error messages while not breaking the local/remote commands.
Code generation saved files even when they had not changed, which often caused code generation cascades. So, don't save files unless they have changed.
Use rsync to determine which files have changed since the last test run. The manifest of changed files is saved and not removed until all code generation and builds have completed. If an error occurs the work will be redone on the next run.
The eventual goal is to do all the builds from the test/repo directory created by rsync but for now it is only used to track changes.
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.

This option was previously allowed on the command-line only for no particular reason that we could determine.
Being able to specify it in the config file seems like a good idea and won't change current usage.

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

pgBackRest currently has no way to request new credentials so the entire command (e.g. backup, restore) must complete before the credentials expire.

* Add storageCopy(), storageMove(), and storagePathSync().
* Separate StorageFile object into separate read and write objects.
* Abstract out Posix file read/write objects.
Configuration files are loaded from the directory specified by the --config-include-path option.
Add --config-path option for overriding the default base path of the --config and --config-include-path option.

Now only two types of locks can be taken: archive and backup. Most commands use one or the other but the stanza-* commands acquire both locks. This provides better protection than the old command-based locking scheme.
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.
* Remove --reset tags from v1 options.
* Use constants for repo prefix.
* Specify CFGDEF_INDEX_PG in option structure rather than adding in code.
* Fix error message references to "backup host".

This allows specific options in pgbackrest.conf to be ignored (and set to default) which reduces the need to write new configuration files for specific needs.
Note that boolean, non-command-line options are already negatable.
