pkg-config is a generic way to get build options rather than relying on a package-specific utility.
XML2_CONFIG can be used to override this utility for systems that do not ship pkg-config.
Previously memNew() used memset() to initialize all struct members to 0, NULL, false, etc. While this appears to work in practice, it is a violation of the C specification. For instance, NULL == 0 must be true but neither NULL nor 0 must be represented with all zero bits.
Instead use designated initializers to initialize structs. These guarantee that struct members will be properly initialized even if they are not specified in the initializer. Note that due to a quirk in the C99 specification at least one member must be explicitly initialized even if it needs to be the default value.
Since pre-zeroed memory is no longer required, adjust memAllocInternal()/memReallocInternal() to return raw memory and update dependent functions accordingly. All instances of memset() have been removed except in debug/test code where needed.
Add memMewPtrArray() to allocate an array of pointers and automatically set all pointers to NULL.
Rename memGrowRaw() to the more logical memResize().
Bug Fixes:
* Fix error in timeline conversion. The timeline is required to verify WAL segments in the archive after a backup. The conversion was performed base 10 instead of 16, which led to errors when the timeline was ≥ 0xA. (Reported by Lukas Ertl, Eric Veldhuyzen.)

This macro block encapsulates the common pattern of switching to the prior (formerly called old) mem context to return results from a function.
Also rename MEM_CONTEXT_OLD() to memContextPrior(). This violates our convention of macros being in all caps but memContextPrior() will become a function very soon so this will reduce churn.
We probably arrived at this unusual construction because of the complexity of getting the mem context. Whether or not this is a good way to store the mem context, it still makes sense to use the standard pattern for switching mem contexts.
A few places were using just memContextNew(), probably because they did not immediately need to create anything in the new context, but it's better if we use the same pattern everywhere, even if it results in a few extra mem context switches.
This worked when the FUNCTION_TEST_RETURN_VOID() macro expanded to nothing because of the final semicolon. If the FUNCTION_TEST_RETURN_VOID() macro expanded to something then there was one semicolon too few.
Bug Fixes:
* Fix options being ignored by asynchronous commands. The asynchronous archive-get/archive-push processes were not loading options configured in command configuration sections, e.g. [global:archive-get]. (Reviewed by Cynthia Shang. Reported by Urs Kramer.)
* Fix handling of \ in filenames. \ was not being properly escaped when calculating the manifest checksum which prevented the manifest from loading. Since instances of \ in cluster filenames should be rare to nonexistent this does not seem likely to be a serious problem in the field.
Features:
* pgBackRest is now pure C.
* Add pg-user option. Specifies the database user name when connecting to PostgreSQL. If not specified pgBackRest will connect with the local OS user or PGUSER, which was the previous behavior. (Contributed by Mike Palmiotto.)
* Allow path-style URIs in S3 driver.
Improvements:
* The backup command is implemented entirely in C. (Reviewed by Cynthia Shang.)
The local, remote, archive-get-async, and archive-push-async commands were used to run functionality that was not directly available to the user. Unfortunately that meant they would not pick up options from the command that the user expected, e.g. backup, archive-get, etc.
Remove the internal commands and add roles which allow pgBackRest to determine what functionality is required without implementing special commands. This way the options are loaded from the expected command section.
Since remote is no longer a specific command with its own options, more manipulation is required when calling remote. This might be something we can improve in the config system but it may be worth leaving as is because it is a one-off, for now at least.
Although path-style URIs have been deprecated by AWS, they may still be used with products like Minio because no additional DNS configuration is required.
Path-style URIs must be explicitly enabled since it is not clear how they can be auto-detected reliably. More importantly, faulty detection could cause regressions in current installations.
Time is supported in all drivers with the update to S3 at 61538f93, so it is now possible to add time to the ls command and have it work on all repo types.
The prior code was updating/removing hard-coded options but new options are added all the time and there was no indication that this code needed to be updated. For example, dc1e7ca2 added the pg-user option but this code was not updated.
Instead find the options to update/remove dynamically. The new code uses prefixes, which is not perfect, but the patterns for pg options are pretty well established and this seems safer than the existing code.
Parameter lists that are passed directly to exec*() do not need quoting when spaces are present. Worse, the quotes will not be stripped and the option value will be garbled.
Unfortunately this still does not fix all issues with quoting since we don't know how it might need to be escaped to work with SSH command configuration. The answer seems to be to pass the options in the protocol layer but that's beyond the scope of this commit.
This option was overloaded on the general type option but it makes sense to split this out since the meaning is pretty different.
Rename the values to conform to current standards, i.e. pg and repo, now that the Perl code won't care anymore.
Previously dates were not being filled by these functions which was fine since dates were not used.
We plan to use dates for the ls command plus it makes sense for the driver to be complete since it will be used as an example.
These are similar to what mktime() and strptime() do but they ignore the local system timezone which saves having to munge the TZ env variable to do time conversions.
The command option will be removed from the C code so it needs to be removed here as well.
This code is now used only for testing so it's not important that it be so precise.
