We were already retrying 500 errors but 503 (rate-limiting) errors were not being retried and would cause an instant failure which aborted the command.
There are only two 5xx errors currently implemented by S3 but instead of adding 503 simply retry all 5xx errors. This is consistent with the http definition of this error class, "the server failed to fulfill an apparently valid request."

Apparently we never needed to run this function remotely.
It will be needed by the backup checksum delta feature, so implement it now.

% characters caused issues in backup/restore due to filenames being appended directly into a format string.
Reserved XML characters (<>&') caused issues in the S3 driver due to improper escaping.
Add a file with all common special characters to regression testing.
pgBackRest currently has no way to request new credentials so the entire command (e.g. backup, restore) must complete before the credentials expire.

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.
The options accommodate systems where CAs are not automatically found by IO::Socket::SSL, i.e. RHEL7, or to load custom CAs.
