David Steele 45881c74ae Allow most unit tests to run outside of a container.
Three major changes were required to get this working:

1) Provide the path to pgbackrest in the build directory when running outside a container.  Tests in a container will continue to install and run against /usr/bin/pgbackrest.

1) Set a per-test lock path so tests don't conflict on the default /tmp/pgbackrest path.  Also set a per-test log-path while we are at it.

2) Use localhost instead of a custom host for TLS test connections.  Tests in containers will continue to update /etc/hosts and use the custom host.

Add infrastructure and update harnessCfgLoad*() to get the correct exe and paths loaded for testing.

Since new tests are required to verify that running outside a container works, also rework the tests in Travis CI to provide coverage within a reasonable amount of time.  Mainly, break up to doc tests by VM and run an abbreviated unit test suite on co6 and co7.

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
