Different encoded strings could be generated based on compiler optimizations. Even though decoding was still successful the encoded strings did not match the standard.
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.
Running coverage testing on multiple distros takes time but doesn't add significant value. Also ensure that the distro designated to run coverage tests is one of the default test distros.
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.

db-path was the only option with a hint so the feature seemed wasteful. All missing stanza options now output the same hint without needing configuration.
Bug Fixes:
* Fix custom settings for compress-level option being ignored. (Reported by Jens Wilke.)
* Remove error when overlapping timelines are detected. Overlapping timelines are valid in many Point-in-Time-Recovery (PITR) scenarios. (Reported by blogh.)
* Fix instances where database-id was not rendered as an integer in JSON info output. (Fixed by Cynthia Shang. Reported by Jason O'Donnell.)
Features:
* Improve performance of list requests on S3. Any beginning literal portion of a filter expression is used to generate a search prefix which often helps keep the request small enough to avoid rate limiting. (Suggested by Mihail Shvein.)
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.

Bug Fixes:
* Fixed an issue where warnings were being emitted in place of lower priority log messages during backup from standby initialization. (Reported by Uspen.)
* Fixed an issue where some db-* options (e.g. db-port) were not being passed to remotes. (Reported by Uspen.)
Features:
* Exclude contents of pg_snapshots, pg_serial, pg_notify, and pg_dynshmem from backup since they are rebuilt on startup.
* Exclude pg_internal.init files from backup since they are rebuilt on startup.
