Logging stayed in the backup log until the Perl code started. Fix this so it logs to the correct file and will still work after the Perl code is removed.
ScalityS3 has not received any maintenance in years and is slow to start which is bad for testing. Replace it with minio which starts quickly and ships as a single executable or a tiny container.
Minio has stricter limits on allowable characters but should still provide enough coverage to show that our encoding is working correctly.
This commit also includes the upgrade to openssl 1.1.1 in the Ubuntu 18.04 container.
Maintaining the storage layer/drivers in two languages is burdensome. Since the integration tests require the Perl storage layer/drivers we'll need them even after the core code is migrated to C. Create an interface layer so the Perl code can be removed and new storage drivers/features introduced without adding Perl equivalents.
The goal is to move the integration tests to C so this interface will eventually be removed. That being the case, the interface was designed for maximum compatibility to ease the transition. The result looks a bit hacky but we'll improve it as needed until it can be retired.
Amend commit 434cd832 to error when the db history in archive.info and backup.info do not match.
The Perl code would attempt to reconcile the history by matching on system id and version but we are not planning to migrate that code to C. It's possible that there are users with mismatches but if so they should have been getting errors from info for the last six months. It's easy enough to manually fix these files if there are any mismatches in the field.

This implementation duplicates the functionality of the Perl code but does so with different logic and includes full unit tests.
Along the way at least one bug was fixed, see issue #748.

The C code is designed to be efficient rather than deterministic at the debug log level. As we move more testing from integration to unit tests it makes less sense to try and maintain the expect logs at this log level.
Most of the expect logs have already been moved to detail level but mock/all still had tests at debug level. Change the logging defaults in the config file and remove as many references to log-level-console as possible.
This new implementation should behave exactly like the old Perl code with the exception of updated log messages.
Remove as much of the Perl code as possible without breaking other commands.
The expect tests were originally a rough-and-ready type of unit test so monitoring changes in the expect log helped us detect changes in behavior.
Now the stanza code is heavily unit-tested so the detailed logs mainly cause churn and don't have any measurable benefit.
Reduce the log level to DETAIL to make the logs less verbose and volatile, yet still check user-facing log messages.
The decryption filter was added in archiveGetFile() and archiveGetCheck() was modified to return the WAL decryption key stored in archive.info. The rest was plumbing.
The mock/archive/1 integration test added encryption to provide coverage for the new code paths while mock/archive/2 dropped encryption to provide coverage for the existing code paths. This caused some churn in the expect logs but there was no change in behavior.
TlsClient introduced a non-blocking read which is required to read protocol messages that are linefeed-terminated rather than a known size. However, in many cases the expected number of bytes is known in advance so in that case it is more efficient to have tlsClientRead() block until all the bytes are read.
Add block parameter to all read functions and use it when a blocking read is required. For most read functions this is a noop, i.e. if the read function never blocks then it can ignore the parameter.
In passing, set the log level of storageNew*() functions to debug to expose more high-level I/O operations.
Allow buffers to report a lower size than their allocated size. This means a larger buffer can be used to do the work of a smaller buffer without having to create a new buffer and concatenate.
This is useful for blocking I/O where the buffer may be too large for the amount of data that is available to read.
The InfoPg object was partially modified in 960ad732 to place the current history item in position 0, but infoPgDataCurrent() didn't get updated correctly.
Remove this->indexCurrent and make the current position always equal 0. Use the new lstInsert() function when adding new history items via infoPgAdd(), but continue to use lstAdd() when loading from a file for efficiency.
This does not appear to be a live bug because infoPgDataCurrent() and infoPgAdd() are not yet used in any production code. The archive-get command is the only C code using InfoPG and it always looks at the entire list of items rather than just the current item.

PostgreSQL 11 introduces configurable WAL segment sizes, from 1MB to 1GB.
There are two areas that needed to be updated to support this: building the archive-get queue and checking that WAL has been archived after a backup. Both operations require the WAL segment size to properly build a list.
Checking the archive after a backup is still implemented in Perl and has an active database connection, so just get the WAL segment size from the database.
The archive-get command does not have a connection to the database, so get the WAL segment size from pg_control instead. This requires a deeper inspection of pg_control than has been done in the past, so it seemed best to copy the relevant data structures from each version of PostgreSQL and build a generic interface layer to address them. While this approach is a bit verbose, it has the advantage of being relatively simple, and can easily be updated for new versions of PostgreSQL.
Since the integration tests generate pg_control files for testing, teach Perl how to generate files with the correct offsets for both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures.
Apparently we never needed to run this function remotely.
It will be needed by the backup checksum delta feature, so implement it now.

The external storage interfaces (Storage, StorageFileRead, etc.) have been stable for a while, but internally they were calling the posix driver functions directly.
Create driver interfaces for storage, fileRead, and fileWrite and remove all references to the posix driver outside storage/driver/posix (with the exception of a direct call to pathRemove() in Perl LibC).
Posix is still the only available driver so more adjustment may be needed, but this should represent the bulk of the changes.
Previously, debug log functions had to handle NULLs and truncate output to the available buffer size. This was verbose for both coding and testing.
Instead, create a function/macro combination that allows log functions to return a simple String object. The wrapper function takes care of the memory context, handles NULLs, and truncates the log string based on the available buffer size.
The archive-get command will only be executed in C if the repository is local, unencrypted, and type posix or cifs. Admittedly a limited use case, but this is just the first step in migrating the archive-get command entirely into C.
This is a direct migration from the Perl code (including messages) to integrate as seamlessly with the remaining Perl code as possible. It should not be possible to determine if the C version is running unless debug-level logging is enabled.
The info messages were spread around and logged differently based on the execution path and in some cases logged nothing at all.
Temporarily track the async server status with a flag so that info messages are not output in the async process. The async process will be refactored as a separate command to be exec'd in a future commit.
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.
The Perl process was exiting directly when called but that interfered with proper locking for the forked async process. Now Perl returns results to the C process which handles all errors, including signals.
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.
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.

Previously, functions with sensitive options had to be logged at trace level to avoid exposing them. Trace level logging may still expose secrets so use with caution.
