When more than one db was specified the path, port, and socket path would for db1 were passed no matter which db was actually being addressed.

If the backup cannot map a group to a name it stores the group in the manifest as false then uses either the owner of $PGDATA to set the group during restore or failing that the group of the current user. This logic was not working correctly because the selected group was overwriting the user on restore leaving the group undefined and the user incorrectly set to the group. (Reported by Jeff McCormick.)
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.
After a stanza-upgrade it should still be possible to restore backups from the previous version and perform recovery with archive-get. However, archive-get only checked the most recent db version/id and failed.
Also clean up some issues when the same db version/id appears multiple times in the history.

* Exclude contents of pg_snapshots, pg_serial, pg_notify, and pg_dynshmem from backup since they are rebuilt on startup.
* Exclude pg_internal.init files from backup since they are rebuilt on startup.
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.

Modified the info command (both text and JSON output) to display the archive ID and minimum/maximum WAL currently present in the archive for the current and prior, if any, database cluster version.

The integration tests that were supposed to prevent this regression did not work as intended. They verified the contents of a table in the (supposedly) restored tablespace, deleted the table, and then deleted the tablespace. All of this was deemed sufficient to prove that the tablespace had been restored correctly and was valid.
However, PostgreSQL will happily recreate a tablespace on the basis of a single full-page write, at least in the affected versions. Since writes to the test table were replayed from WAL with each recovery, all the tests passed even though the tablespace was missing after the restore.
The tests have been updated to include direct comparisons against the file system and a new table that is not replayed after a restore because it is created before the backup and never modified again.
Versions ≥ 9.0 were not affected due to numerous synthetic integration tests that verify backups and restores file by file.
* 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.
