82df7e6f and 9856fef5 updated tests that used test points in preparation for the feature not being available in the C code.
Since tests points are no longer used remove the infrastructure.
Also remove one stray --test option in mock/all that was essentially a noop but no longer works now that the option has been removed.
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.
Decoding a manifest from the JSON provided by C to the hash required by Perl is an expensive process. If manifest() was called on a remote it was being decoded into a hash and then immediately re-encoded into JSON for transmission over the protocol layer.
Instead, provide a function for the remote to get the raw JSON which can be transmitted as is and decoded in the calling process instead.
This makes remote manifest calls as fast as they were before 2.16, but local calls must still pay the decoding penalty and are therefore slower. This will continue to be true until the Perl storage interface is retired at the end of the C migration.
Note that for reasonable numbers of tables there is no detectable difference. The case in question involved 250K tables with a 10 minute decode time (which was being doubled) on a fast workstation.
The local process is now entirely migrated to C. Since all major I/O operations are performed in the local process, the vast majority of I/O is now performed in C.

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.
The new name is preferred because pgBackRest does not support any SSL protocol versions (they are all considered to be insecure).
The old name will continue to be accepted.
This is just the part of restore run by the local helper processes, not the entire command.
Even so, various optimizations in the code (like pipelining and optimizations for zero-length files) should make the restore command faster on object stores.
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 C info code has already been committed but this commit wires it into main.
Also remove the info Perl code and tests since they are no longer called.
The C storage object strives to use rules whenever possible instead of generating absolute paths. This change helps the C and Perl storage work together via the protocol layer.
Apparently we never needed to run this function remotely.
It will be needed by the backup checksum delta feature, so implement it now.

The log-subprocess feature added in 22765670 failed to take into account the naming for remote processes spawned by local processes. Not only was the local command used for the naming of log files but the process id was not pass through. This meant every remote log was named "[stanza]-local-remote-000" which is confusing and meant multiple processes were writing to the same log.
Instead, pass the real command and process id to the remote. This required a minor change in locking to ignore locks if process id is greater than 0 since remotes started by locals never lock.
pgBackRest currently has no way to request new credentials so the entire command (e.g. backup, restore) must complete before the credentials expire.

Configuration files are loaded from the directory specified by the --config-include-path option.
Add --config-path option for overriding the default base path of the --config and --config-include-path option.

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.
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.

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