Add timeline and checkpoint checks to backup.
Add the following checks:

* Checkpoint is updated in pg_control after pg_start_backup(). This helps ensure that PostgreSQL and pgBackRest have a consistent view of the storage and that PGDATA paths match.
* Timeline of backup start WAL file matches pg_control. Hard to see how this one could get hit, but we have the power...
* Standby is on the same timeline as the primary. If not, this standby is not following the primary.
* Last standby checkpoint is not greater than the backup checkpoint. If so, this standby is not following the primary.

This also requires some additional plumbing to read/write timeline/checkpoint from pg_control and parse timelines from WAL filenames. There were some changes in the backup tests caused by the fact that pg_control now has different contents for each backup.

The check to ensure that the required checkpoint was reached on the standby should also be updated to use pg_control (it currently uses pg_control_checkpoint()), but that requires non-trivial changes to the test harness and will need to wait.
