be77136eae v1.06: Backup from Standby and Bug Fixes
Bug Fixes:

* Fixed an issue where a tablespace link that referenced another link would not produce an error, but instead skip the tablespace entirely. (Reported by Michael Vitale.)
* Fixed an issue where options that should not allow multiple values could be specified multiple times in pgbackrest.conf without an error being raised. (Reported by Michael Vitale.)
* Fixed an issue where the protocol-timeout option was not automatically increased when the db-timeout option was increased. (Reported by Todd Vernick.)

Features:

* Backup from a standby cluster. A connection to the primary cluster is still required to start/stop the backup and copy files that are not replicated, but the vast majority of files are copied from the standby in order to reduce load on the master.
* More flexible configuration for databases. Master and standby can both be configured on the backup server and pgBackRest will automatically determine which is the master. This means no configuration changes for backup are required after failing over from a master to standby when a separate backup server is used.
* Exclude directories during backup that are cleaned, recreated, or zeroed by PostgreSQL at startup. These include pgsql_tmp and pg_stat_tmp. The postgresql.auto.conf.tmp file is now excluded in addition to files that were already excluded: backup_label.old, postmaster.opts, postmaster.pid, recovery.conf, recovery.done.
* Experimental support for non-exclusive backups in PostgreSQL 9.6 beta4. Changes to the control/catalog/WAL versions in subsequent betas may break compatibility but pgBackRest will be updated with each release to keep pace.

Refactoring:

* Simplify protocol creation and identifying which host is local/remote.
* Removed all OP_* function constants that were used only for debugging, not in the protocol, and replaced with __PACKAGE__.
* Improvements in Db module: separated out connect() function, allow executeSql() calls that do not return data, and improve error handling.
* Improve error message for links that reference links in manifest build.
* Added hints to error message when relative paths are detected in archive-push or archive-get.
* Improve backup log messages to indicate which host the files are being copied from.

f1412baccf Exclude directories during backup that are cleaned, recreated, or zeroed by PostgreSQL at startup.
These include (depending on the version where they were introduced): pgsql_tmp, pg_dynshmem, pg_notify, pg_replslot, pg_serial, pg_snapshots, pg_stat_tmp, pg_subtrans. The postgresql.auto.conf.tmp file is now excluded in addition to files that were already excluded: backup_label.old, postmaster.opts, postmaster.pid, recovery.conf, recovery.done.

9f19e13095 v1.05: Bug Fix for Tablespace Link Checking
Bug Fixes:

* Fixed an issue where tablespace paths that had $PGDATA as a substring would be identified as a subdirectories of $PGDATA even when they were not. Also hardened relative path checking a bit. (Reported by Chris Fort.)

277934447b v1.04: Various Bug Fixes
Bug Fixes:

* Fixed an issue an where an extraneous remote was created causing threaded backup/restore to possibly timeout and/or throw a lock conflict. (Reported by Michael Vitale.)
* Fixed an issue where db-path was not required for the check command so an assert was raised when it was missing rather than a polite error message. (Reported by Michael Vitale.)
* Fixed check command to throw an error when database version/id does not match that of the archive. (Fixed by Cynthia Shang.)
* Fixed an issue where a remote could try to start its own remote when the backup-host option was not present in pgbackrest.conf on the database server. (Reported by Lardière Sébastien.)
* Fixed an issue where the contents of pg_xlog were being backed up if the directory was symlinked. This didn't cause any issues during restore but was a waste of space.
* Fixed an invalid log() call in lock routines.

Features:

* Experimental support for non-exclusive backups in PostgreSQL 9.6 beta3. Changes to the control/catalog/WAL versions in subsequent betas may break compatibility but pgBackRest will be updated with each release to keep pace.

Refactoring:

* Enhancements to the protocol layer for improved reliability and error handling.
* All remote types now take locks. The exceptions date to when the test harness and pgBackRest were running in the same VM and no longer apply.
* Exceptions are now passed back from threads as messages when possible rather than raised directly.
* Temp files created during backup are now placed in the same directory as the target file.
* Output lock file name when a lock cannot be acquired to aid in debugging.
* Reduce calls to protocolGet() in backup/restore.
* Suppress banners on SSH protocol connections.
* Improved remote error messages to identify the host where the error was raised.

f2b3dda647 Fixed an issue where a remote could try to start its own remote.
This is a better approach than 93320b8 (reverted in this commit) because it ensures that the remote type will be none so any functions that utilize optionRemoteTypeTest will work correctly.

This bug was only an issue when backup-host was not properly configured on the database host.
