This allows specific options in pgbackrest.conf to be ignored (and set to default) which reduces the need to write new configuration files for specific needs.
Note that boolean, non-command-line options are already negatable.
When a backup host is present, backups should only be allowed on the backup host and restores should only be allowed on the database host unless an alternate configuration is created that ignores the remote host.

Required to test restores on the backup server, a fairly common scenario.
Improve the restore function to accept optional parameters rather than a long list of parameters. In passing, clean up extraneous use of strType and strComment variables.
Bug Fixes:
* Fixed an issue that could cause copying large manifests to fail during restore. (Reported by Craig A. James.)
* Fixed incorrect WAL offset for 32-bit architectures. (Fixed by Javier Wilson.)
* Fixed an issue retrieving WAL for old database versions. 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. (Fixed by Cynthia Shang. Reported by Clinton Adams.)
* Fixed an issue with invalid backup groups being set correctly on restore. If the backup cannot map a group to a name it stores the group in the manifest as false then uses either the owner of $PGDATA to set the group during restore or failing that the group of the current user. This logic was not working correctly because the selected group was overwriting the user on restore leaving the group undefined and the user incorrectly set to the group. (Reported by Jeff McCormick.)
* Fixed an issue passing parameters to remotes. 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. (Reported by Uspen.)
Features:
* Repository encryption support. (Contributed by Cynthia Shang, David Steele.)

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.
