pgsql: Add pg_basebackup tool for streaming base backups
Add pg_basebackup tool for streaming base backups
This tool makes it possible to do the pg_start_backup/
copy files/pg_stop_backup step in a single command.
There are still some steps to be done before this is a
complete backup solution, such as the ability to stream
the required WAL logs, but it's still usable, and
could do with some buildfarm coverage.
In passing, make the checkpoint request optionally
fast instead of hardcoding it.

The Windows buildfarm members would like this patch better if you used
pg_strcasecmp not strcasecmp.

Yeah, I've applied a patch for that already.
