David Steele 3f77a83e73 Remove raw option for gz compression.
This was a minor optimization used in protocol layer compression.  Even though it was slightly faster, it omitted the crc-32 that is generated during normal compression which could lead to corrupt data after a bad network transmission.  This would be caught on restore by our checksum but it seems better to catch an issue like this early.

The raw option also made the function signature different than future compression formats which may not support raw, or require different code to support raw.

In general, it doesn't seem worth the extra testing to support a format that has minimal benefit and is seldom used, since protocol compression is only enabled when the transmitted data is uncompressed.

pgBackRest
Regression, Unit, & Integration Testing

Introduction

pgBackRest uses Docker to run tests and generate documentation. Docker's light-weight virtualization provides the a good balance between proper OS emulation and performance (especially startup)

A Vagrantfile is provided that contains the complete configuration required to run pgBackRest tests and build documentation. If Vagrant is not suitable then the Vagrantfile still contains the configuration steps required to build a test system.

NOTE: this is not required for normal operation of pgBackRest.

Testing

The easiest way to start testing pgBackRest is with the included Vagrantfile.

Build Vagrant and Logon:

cd test
vagrant up
vagrant ssh

The vagrant up command may take some time as a number of Docker containers must also be built. The vagrant ssh command automatically logs onto the VM.

Run All Tests:

/backrest/test/test.pl

Run Tests for a Specific OS:

/backrest/test/test.pl --vm=co6

Run Tests for a Specific OS and Module:

/backrest/test/test.pl --vm=co6 --module=backup

Run Tests for a Specific OS, Module, and Test:

/backrest/test/test.pl --vm=co6 --module=backup --test=full

Run Tests for a Specific OS, Module, Test, and Run:

/backrest/test/test.pl --vm=co6 --module=backup --test=full --run=1

Run Tests for a Specific OS, Module, Test, and Process Max:

/backrest/test/test.pl --vm=co6 --module=backup --test=full --process-max=4

NOTE: process-max is only applicable to the synthetic and full tests in the backup module.

Run Tests for a Specific OS, Module, Test, Process Max, and Database Version:

/backrest/test/test.pl --vm=co6 --module=backup --test=full --process-max=4 --pg-version=9.4

NOTE: pg-version is only applicable to the full test in the backup module.

Iterate All Possible Test Combinations:

/backrest/test/test.pl --dry-run
