Remove "File" and "Driver" from object names so they are shorter and easier to keep consistent.
Also remove the "driver" directory so storage implementations are visible directly under "storage".
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.

The Perl code has a tendency to generate absolute paths even when they are not needed. This change helps the C and Perl storage work together via the protocol layer.
Previously chown() would be called even when no ownership changes were required.
In most cases changes are not required and it seems better to perform an extra stat() rather than an extra chown().
Also add unit tests for owner() since there weren't any.
The authentication header contains the access key (not the secret key) so don't include it in errors that can be seen at any log level.

After a file is copied during backup the size is requested from the storage in case it differs from what was written so that repo-size can be reported accurately. This is useful for situations where compression is being done by the filesystem (e.g. ZFS) and what is stored can differ in size from what was written.
In S3 the reported size will always be exactly what was written so there is no need to check the size and doing so immediately can cause problems because the new file might not appear in list commands. This has not been observed on S3 (though it seems to be possible) but it has been reported on the Swift S3 gateway.
Add a driver capability to determine if size needs to be called after a file is written and if not then simply use the number of bytes written for repo-size.

We were already retrying 500 errors but 503 (rate-limiting) errors were not being retried and would cause an instant failure which aborted the command.
There are only two 5xx errors currently implemented by S3 but instead of adding 503 simply retry all 5xx errors. This is consistent with the http definition of this error class, "the server failed to fulfill an apparently valid request."

Apparently we never needed to run this function remotely.
It will be needed by the backup checksum delta feature, so implement it now.

% characters caused issues in backup/restore due to filenames being appended directly into a format string.
Reserved XML characters (<>&') caused issues in the S3 driver due to improper escaping.
Add a file with all common special characters to regression testing.
File names with uncommon characters (e.g. @) caused authentication failures due to S3 encoding them correctly while the S3 driver did not.
Reported by Dan Farrell.
Previously an error would be generated if other files were present and not owned by the PostgreSQL user. This hasn't been a big deal in practice but it could cause issues.
Also add tests to make sure the same logic applies with links to files, i.e. all other files in the directory should be ignored. This was actually working correctly, but there were no tests for it before.
pgBackRest currently has no way to request new credentials so the entire command (e.g. backup, restore) must complete before the credentials expire.

This implementation should be faster because it does not stat each file. It simply assumes that most directory entries are files so attempts an unlink() first. If the entry is reported by error codes to be a directory then it attempts an rmdir().
Scanning the entire backup directory can be very expensive if there are a lot of small tables. The backup manifest contains the backup directory list so use it to perform syncs instead of scanning the backup directory.
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.
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.

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

* Combine hardlink and non/compressed in synthetic tests to reduce test time and improve coverage.
* Change log level of hardlink logging to detail.
* Cast size in S3 manifest to integer.
