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.
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().
This makes it easier to create objects and then copy them to another context when they are complete without having to worry about freeing them on error. Update List, StringList, and Buffer to allow moves. Update Ini and Storage to take advantage of moves.
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.
* Perform apt-get update to ensure packages are up to date before installing.
* Add -p to the repository mkdir so it won't fail if the directory already exists, handy for testing packages.
lcov requires default to show complete coverage but --Wswitch-enum enforces all enum values be present so no default is needed.
Add documentation for each branch exclusion.
Switch from Devel::Cover because it would not report on branch coverage for reports converted from gcov.
Branch coverage is not complete, so for the time being errors will only be generated when statement coverage is not complete. Coverage of unit tests is not displayed in the report unless they are incomplete for either statement or branch coverage.
Bug Fixes:
* Fix --target-action and --recovery-option options being reported as invalid when restoring with --type=immediate. (Reported by Brad Nicholson.)
* Immediately error when a secure option (e.g. repo1-s3-key) is passed on the command line. Since pgBackRest would not pass secure options on to sub-processes an obscure error was thrown. The new error is much clearer and provides hints about how to fix the problem. Update command documentation to omit secure options that cannot be specified on the command-line. (Reported by Brad Nicholson.)
* Fix issue passing --no-config to embedded Perl. (Reported by Ibrahim Edib Kokdemir.)
* Fix issue where specifying log-level-stderr > warn would cause a local/remote process to error on exit due to output found on stderr when none was expected. The max value for a local/remote process is now error since there is no reason for these processes to emit warnings. (Reported by Clinton Adams.)
* Fix manifest test in the check command when tablespaces are present. (Fixed by Cynthia Shang. Reported by Thomas Flatley.)
Improvements:
* Error when multiple arguments are set in the config file for an option that does not accept multiple arguments. (Contributed by Cynthia Shang.)
* Remove extraneous sudo commands from src/Makefile. (Contributed by Adrian Vondendriesch.)

* Replace remaining NDEBUG blocks with the more granular DEBUG_UNIT.
* Remove some debug memset() calls in MemContext since valgrind is more useful for these checks.
Move command begin to C except when it must be called after another command in Perl (e.g. expire after backup). Command begin logs correctly for complex data types like hash and list. Specify which commands will log to file immediately and set the default log level for log messages that are common to all commands. File logging is initiated from C.
