DESTDIR always had /usr/bin appended which was a problem systems that don't use /usr/bin as the install location for binaries.
Instead, use the value of DESTDIR exactly and update the Debian packages accordingly.

This behavior allowed a command like this to run without error:
pgbackrest backup --stanza=db full
Even though it actually performed an incremental backup in most circumstances because the `full` parameter was ignored.
Instead, output an error and exit.
Suggested by Jason O'Donnell.
This warning was being output when getting help if retention was not set:
WARN: option repo1-retention-full is not set, the repository may run out of space
Suppress this when getting help since the warning will display by default on a system that is not completely configured.
The same test configurations are run on all four test VMs, which seems a real waste of resources.
Vary the tests per VM to increase coverage while reducing the total number of tests. Be sure to include each major feature (remote, s3, encryption) in each VM at least once.

This is very inefficient in terms of memory and time and dynamic context names were never utilized.
Just require that context names be valid for the life of the context.
In practice they are all static strings.
Allocations required a sequential scan through the allocation list for both contexts and memory. This was very inefficient since for the most part individual memory allocations are seldom freed directly, rather they are freed when their context is freed.
For both types of allocations track an index for the lowest free position. After an allocation of the free position, a sequential search will be required for the next allocation but this is still far better than doing a scan for every allocation.
With a moderately-sized dataset (500 history entries in backup.info), there is a 237X performance improvement when combined with the f74e88bb refactor.

Finding memory allocations in order to free or resize them is the next bottleneck, but this does not seem to be a major issue presently.
Using the functions internally is great for abstraction but not so great for performance on non-optimized builds.
Also, the functions end up prominent in any profiled build.
The prior method depended on IO:Socket:SSL to push the keep-alive options down to the socket but it only worked for recent versions of the module.
Instead, create the socket directly using IO::Socket::IP if available or IO:Socket:INET as a fallback. The keep-alive option is set directly on the socket before it is passed to IO:Socket:SSL.

This new implementation should behave exactly like the old Perl code with the exception of a few updated log messages.
Remove as much of the Perl code as possible without breaking other commands.
The C local is only used for C commands in the main process.
Some tweaking of the existing protocolGet() command was required. Originally the idea was to share the function for local and remote requests but the differences (as in Perl) were too great to make that practical.
Some IO objects have file descriptors which can be useful for monitoring with select().
It might also be useful to expose handles for write objects but there is currently no use case.
There was a lot of extra boilerplate involved in setting up pipes so that is now automated.
In some cases testing with multiple children is useful so allow that as well.
This amends 70c30dfb which disabled test tracing in general.
Instead, only enable test tracing by default for modules that are being unit tested. This saves lots of time but still ensures that test tracing is working and helps with debugging in unit tests.
Also rename the option to --debug-test-trace for a clarity.

Vary the tests per VM to increase coverage while reducing the total number of tests. Be sure to include each major feature (remote, s3, encryption) in each VM at least once.
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.

Update error message with the hostname and more detail about what went wrong. Hopefully this will help in diagnosing certificate/hostname issues.

We have been using a hacked-up JSON generator to pass options from C to Perl since the C binary was introduced. This generator was not very compliant which led to issues with \n, ", etc. inside strings.
We have a fully-compliant JSON generator now so use that instead.
Reported by Leo Khomenko.
Detailed stack traces for low-level functions (e.g. strCat, bufMove) can be very useful for debugging but leaving them on for all tests has become quite burdensome in terms of time. Complex operations like generating JSON on a large KevValue can lead to timeouts even with generous values.
Add a new param, --debug-trace, to enable test-level stack trace, but leave it off by default.
Expressions such as <REPO:ARCHIVE> require a stanza name in order to be resolved correctly. However, if the stanza name is passed to the remote then that remote will only work correctly for that one stanza.
Instead, resolved the expressions locally but still pass a relative path to the remote. That way, a storage path that is only configured on the remote does not need to be known locally.
This issue was a result of STORAGE_REPO_PATH prepending an extra stanza when the stanza was specified on the command line.
The tests missed this because by some strange coincidence the WAL dirs were empty for each test that specified a stanza. Add new tests to prevent a regression.
Fixed by Stefan Fercot.
Free all cached objects in the storage helper, especially the stanza name.
This clears the storage environment for tests that switch stanza names or go from a stanza name to no stanza name or vice versa. This is only useful for testing right now, but may be used in the future for commands than act on multiple stanzas.
This was previously 256, which was too small to log protocol parameters. Not only did this truncate important debug information but varying path lengths caused spurious differences in the expect logs.
This command was previously forked off from the archive-get command which required a bit of artificial option and log manipulation.
A separate command is easier to test and will work on platforms that don't have fork(), e.g. Windows.
These are intended to be temporary until a fully automated report is developed.
Since we don't know when that will happen, at least make it easier to generate the current report.
Prior to this the Perl remote was used to satisfy C requests. This worked fine but since the remote needed to be migrated to C anyway there was no reason to wait.
Add the ProtocolServer object and tweak ProtocolClient to work with it. It was also necessary to add a mechanism to get option values from the remote so that encryption settings could be read and used in the storage object.
Update the remote storage objects to comply with the protocol changes and add the storage protocol handler.
Ideally this commit would have been broken up into smaller chunks but there are cross-dependencies in the protocol layer and it didn't seem worth the extra effort.
The file write object destructors called close() and finalized the file even if it was not completely written. This was an issue in both the C and Perl code.
Rewrite the destructors to simply free resources (like file handles) rather than calling the close() method. This leaves the temp file in place for filesystems that use temp files.
Add unit tests to prevent regression.

execRead() should be returning a size_t, not a void. Thankfully, this isn't actually used and therefore shouldn't be an issue, but we should fix it anyway.
