Using pg1-path, as we were doing previously, could lead to WAL being copied to/from unexpected places. PostgreSQL sets the current working directory to PGDATA so we can use that to resolve relative paths.
This makes configuring tests easier.
Also add a parameter for tests that require sudo. This should be retired at some point but some tests still require it.
This will likely improve performance, but it also makes the filesystem consistent between platforms.
A number of tests were failing on shiftfs, which was the default for arm64 on Travis.
1.13 is not compatible with gcc 8 which is what ships with newer distributions. Build from source to get a more recent version.
1.13 is not compatible with gcc 9 so we'll need to address that at a later date.
This user was created before we tested in containers to ensure isolation between the pg and repo hosts which were then just directories. The downside is that this resulted in a lot of sudos to set the pgbackrest user and to remove files which did not belong to the main test user.
Containers provide isolation without needing separate users so we can now safely remove the pgbackrest user. This allows us to remove most sudos, except where they are explicitly needed in tests.
While we're at it, remove the code that installed the Perl C library (which also required sudo) and simply add the build path to @INC instead.
This test was not creating recovery.signal when testing with --type=preserve. The preserve recovery type only keeps existing files and does not create any.
RC1 was just ignoring recovery.signal and going right into recovery. Weirdly, 12.0 used restore_command to do crash recovery which made the problem harder to diagnose, but this has now been fixed in PostgreSQL and should be released in 12.1.
Mark all pre commands as skip so they won't be run again after the container is built.
Ensure that pre commands added to the container are run as the container user if they are not intended to run as root.
This is only needed when new code is added to the Perl C library, which is becoming rare as the migration progresses.
Also, the code will vary slightly based on the Perl version used for generation so for normal users it is just noise.
Suggested by Stephen Frost.
When performing a delta restore on a largely unchanged cluster the remote could timeout if no files were fetched from the repository within protocol-timeout.
Add keep-alives to prevent remote timeout.

A number of tests have been updated and Fedora 30 has been added to the test suite so the unit tests can run on gcc 9.
Stop running unit tests on co6/7 since we appear to have ample unit test coverage.
This tool was only being used it a few places but was a pretty large dependency.
Rework the forceStorageMove() code using our storage layer and replace one aws cli cp with a storage put.
Also, remove the Dockerfile that was once used to build the Scality S3 test container.
Because db can be reset to NULL on an error in the try block we need nested try blocks to ensure that db is non-NULL and can be freed on an error after being created.
This is not a production issue because the db will be freed when the temp mem context is freed, but it does affect reproducibility in the tests and is a bit tidier.
Now that our tests are more diversified it makes sense to load only the packages that are needed for each test.
Move the package loads from .travis.yaml to test/travis.pl where we have more control over what is loaded.
Note that building the manifest on each host has been temporarily removed.
This feature will likely be brought back as a non-default option (after the manifest code has been fully migrated to C) since it can be fairly expensive.
Check the backup.info file against the backup path. Add any backups that are missing and remove any backups that no longer exist.
It's important to run this before backup or expire to be sure we are using the most up-to-date list of backups.
Three major changes were required to get this working:
1) Provide the path to pgbackrest in the build directory when running outside a container. Tests in a container will continue to install and run against /usr/bin/pgbackrest.
1) Set a per-test lock path so tests don't conflict on the default /tmp/pgbackrest path. Also set a per-test log-path while we are at it.
2) Use localhost instead of a custom host for TLS test connections. Tests in containers will continue to update /etc/hosts and use the custom host.
Add infrastructure and update harnessCfgLoad*() to get the correct exe and paths loaded for testing.
Since new tests are required to verify that running outside a container works, also rework the tests in Travis CI to provide coverage within a reasonable amount of time. Mainly, break up to doc tests by VM and run an abbreviated unit test suite on co6 and co7.
