Rather than doing manual book keeping to plan the number of tests to run
in each TAP suite, conclude each run with done_testing() summing up the
the number of tests that ran. This removes the need for maintaning and
updating the plan count at the expense of an accurate count of remaining
during the test suite runtime.
This patch has been discussed a number of times, often in the context of
other patches which updates tests, so a larger number of discussions can
be found in the archives.

The five modules in our TAP test framework all had names in the top
level namespace. This is unwise because, even though we're not
exporting them to CPAN, the names can leak, for example if they are
exported by the RPM build process. We therefore move the modules to the
PostgreSQL::Test namespace. In the process PostgresNode is renamed to
Cluster, and TestLib is renamed to Utils. PostgresVersion becomes simply
PostgreSQL::Version, to avoid possible confusion about what it's the
version of.

There is only one constructor now for PostgresNode, with the idiomatic
name 'new'. The method is not exported by the class, and must be called
as "PostgresNode->new('name',[args])". All the TAP tests that use
PostgresNode are modified accordingly. Third party scripts will need
adjusting, which is a fairly mechanical process (I just used a sed
script).
The test added by 595b9cb forgot that on Windows it is necessary to set
up pg_hba.conf (see PostgresNode::set_replication_conf) with a specific
entry or base backups fail. Any node that requires to support
replication just needs to pass down allows_streaming at initialization.
This updates the test to do so. Simplify things a bit while on it.
Per buildfarm member fairywren. Any Windows hosts running this test
would have failed, and I have reproduced the problem as well.

Any transactions found as still prepared by a checkpoint have their
state data read from the WAL records generated by PREPARE TRANSACTION
before being moved into their new location within pg_twophase/. While
reading such records, the WAL reader uses the callback
read_local_xlog_page() to read a page, that is shared across various
parts of the system. This callback, since 1148e22a, has introduced an
update of ThisTimeLineID when reading a record while in recovery, which
is potentially helpful in the context of cascading WAL senders.
This update of ThisTimeLineID interacts badly with the checkpointer if a
promotion happens while some 2PC data is read from its record, as, by
changing ThisTimeLineID, any follow-up WAL records would be written to
an timeline older than the promoted one. This results in consistency
issues. For instance, a subsequent server restart would cause a failure
in finding a valid checkpoint record, resulting in a PANIC, for
instance.
This commit changes the code reading the 2PC data to reset the timeline
once the 2PC record has been read, to prevent messing up with the static
state of the checkpointer. It would be tempting to do the same thing
directly in read_local_xlog_page(). However, based on the discussion
that has led to 1148e22a, users may rely on the updates of
ThisTimeLineID when a WAL record page is read in recovery, so changing
this callback could break some cases that are working currently.
A TAP test reproducing the issue is added, relying on a PITR to
precisely trigger a promotion with a prepared transaction still
tracked.
Per discussion with Heikki Linnakangas, Kyotaro Horiguchi, Fujii Masao
and myself.
