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.)

* 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.
Bug Fixes:
* Fix potential buffer overrun in error message handling. (Reported by Lætitia.)
* Fix archive write lock being taken for the synchronous archive-get command. (Reported by Uspen.)
Improvements:
* Embed exported C functions and Perl modules directly into the pgBackRest executable.
* Use time_t instead of __time_t for better portability. (Suggested by Nick Floersch.)
* Print total runtime in milliseconds at command end.
Low-level functions only include stack trace in test builds while higher-level functions ship with stack trace built-in. Stack traces include all parameters passed to the function but production builds only create the parameter list when the log level is set high enough, i.e. debug or trace depending on the function.
* Allow more than one test to provide coverage for the same module.
* Add option to disable valgrind.
* Add option to disabled coverage.
* Add option to disable debug build.
* Add option to disable compiler optimization.
* Add --dev-test mode.
