34c63276cd Automatically enable backup checksum delta when anomalies (e.g. timeline switch) are detected.
There are a number of cases where a checksum delta is more appropriate than the default time-based delta:

* Timeline has switched since the prior backup
* File timestamp is older than recorded in the prior backup
* File size changed but timestamp did not
* File timestamp is in the future compared to the start of the backup
* Online option has changed since the prior backup

A practical example is that checksum delta will be enabled after a failover to standby due to the timeline switch.  In this case, timestamps can't be trusted and our recommendation has been to run a full backup, which can impact the retention schedule and requires manual intervention.

Now, a checksum delta will be performed if the backup type is incr/diff.  This means more CPU will be used during the backup but the backup size will be smaller and the retention schedule will not be impacted.

88a633da17 Divide tests into three types (unit, integration, performance).
Many options that were set per test can instead be inferred from the types, i.e. container, c, expect, and individual.

Also finish renaming Perl unit tests with the -perl suffix.
