David Steele 631535ae4f v0.90: 9.5 Support, Various Enhancements, and Minor Bug Fixes
* Fixed an issue where specifying --no-archive-check would throw a configuration error. Reported by Jason O'Donnell.

* Fixed an issue where a temp WAL file left over after a well-timed system crash could cause the next archive-push to fail.

* Fixed an issue where document generation failed because some OSs are not tolerant of having multiple installed versions of PostgreSQL. A separate VM is now created for each version. Also added a sleep after database starts during document generation to ensure the database is running before the next command runs. Reported by John Harvey.

* The retention-archive option can now be be safely set to less than backup retention (retention-full or retention-diff) without also specifying archive-copy=n. The WAL required to make the backups that fall outside of archive retention consistent will be preserved in the archive. However, in this case PITR will not be possible for the backups that fall outside of archive retention.

* When backing up and restoring tablespaces pgBackRest only operates on the subdirectory created for the version of PostgreSQL being run against. Since multiple versions can live in a tablespace (especially during a binary upgrade) this prevents too many files from being copied during a backup and other versions possibly being wiped out during a restore. This only applies to PostgreSQL >= 9.0 -- prior versions of PostgreSQL could not share a tablespace directory.

* Generate an error when archive-check=y but archivecommand does not execute pgbackrest. Contributed by Jason O'Donnell.

* Improved error message when repo-path or repo-remote-path does not exist.

* Added checks for --delta and --force restore options to ensure that the destination is a valid $PGDATA directory. pgBackRest will check for the presence of PGVERSION or backup.manifest (left over from an aborted restore). If neither file is found then --delta and --force will be disabled but the restore will proceed unless there are files in the $PGDATA directory (or any tablespace directories) in which case the operation will be aborted.

* When restore --set=latest (the default) the actual backup restored will be output to the log.

* Support for PostgreSQL 9.5 partial WAL segments and recoverytargetaction setting. The archivemode = 'always' setting is not yet supported.

* Support for recoverytarget = 'immediate' recovery setting introduced in PostgreSQL 9.4.

* The following tablespace checks have been added: paths or files in pgtblspc, relative links in pgtblspc, tablespaces in $PGDATA. All three will generate errors.
