Corrects an oversight in 2c83f435a3 where the $timed_out reference var
isn't initialized; using it would require the caller to initialize it
beforehand, which is cumbersome.

The distinction between "archive" and "hot_standby" existed only because
at the time "hot_standby" was added, there was some uncertainty about
stability. This is now a long time ago. We would like to move forward
with simplifying the replication configuration, but this distinction is
in the way, because a primary server cannot tell (without asking a
standby or predicting the future) which one of these would be the
appropriate level.
Pick a new name for the combined setting to make it clearer that it
covers all (non-logical) backup and replication uses. The old values
are still accepted but are converted internally.

These simple methods rely on RecursiveCopy to create a filesystem-level
backup of a server. They aren't currently used anywhere yet,but will be
useful for future tests.

This makes the psql() method much more capable: it captures both stdout
and stderr; it now returns the psql exit code rather than stdout; a
timeout can now be specified, as can ON_ERROR_STOP behavior; it gained a
new "on_error_die" (defaulting to off) parameter to raise an exception
if there's any problem. Finally, additional parameters to psql can be
passed if there's need for further tweaking.
For convenience, a new safe_psql() method retains much of the old
behavior of psql(), except that it uses on_error_die on, so that
problems like syntax errors in SQL commands can be detected more easily.
Many existing TAP test files now use safe_psql, which is what is really
wanted. A couple of ->psql() calls are now added in the commit_ts
tests, which verify that the right thing is happening on certain errors.
Some ->command_fails() calls in recovery tests that were verifying that
psql failed also became ->psql() calls now.

Also, mention in README that Perl files should be perltidy'ed. This
isn't really the best place (since we have Perl files elsewhere in the
tree) and this is already in pgindent's README, but this subdir is
likely to get hacked a whole lot more than the other Perl files, so it
seems okay to spend two lines on this.

I applied the previous-to-last revision of Michaël's submitted patch
instead of the last; these two tweaks pointed out by Craig were left out
of the previous commit by accident.
Some code in the RewindTest test suite is more generally useful than
just for that suite, so put it where other test suites can reach it.
Some postgresql.conf parameters change their default values when a
cluster is initialized with 'allows_streaming' than the previous
behavior; most notably, autovacuum is no longer turned off.
(Also, we no longer call pg_ctl promote with -w, but that flag doesn't
actually do anything in promote so there's no behavior change.)

Also, the dump_info method got split into another method that returns
the stuff as a string instead of just printing it to stdout.
Add a new README in src/test/perl too.

Thirty seconds was not consistently enough for promotion to complete on
buildfarm members sungazer and tern. Experiments suggest 43s would have
been enough. Back-patch to 9.5, where pg_rewind was introduced.
To support this, we must reconcile some historical anomalies in the
behavior of -c. In particular, as a backward-incompatibility, -c no
longer implies --no-psqlrc.

Noted by Tom Lane:
- PostgresNode had a BEGIN block which created files, contrary to
perlmod suggestions to do that only on INIT blocks.
- Assign ports randomly rather than starting from 90600.
Noted by Noah Misch:
- Change use of no-longer-set PGPORT environment variable to $node->port
- Don't start a server in pg_controldata test
- PostgresNode was reading the PID file incorrectly; test the right
thing, and chomp the line we read from the PID file.
- Remove an unused $devnull variable
- Use 'pg_ctl kill' instead of "kill" directly, for Windos portability.
- Make server log names more informative.

The original code was a bit clunky; make it more amenable for further
reuse by creating a new Perl package PostgresNode, which is an
object-oriented representation of a single server, with some support
routines such as init, start, stop, psql. This serves as a better basis
on which to build further test code, and enables writing tests that use
more than one server without too much complication.
This commit modifies a lot of the existing test files, mostly to remove
explicit calls to system commands (pg_ctl) replacing them with method
calls of a PostgresNode object. The result is quite a bit more
straightforward.
Also move some initialization code to BEGIN and INIT blocks instead of
having it straight in as top-level code.
This commit also introduces package RecursiveCopy so that we can copy
whole directories without having to depend on packages that may not be
present on vanilla Perl 5.8 installations.
I also ran perltidy on the modified files, which changes some code sites
that are not otherwise touched by this patch. I tried to avoid this,
but it ended up being more trouble than it's worth.
