On Windows, use listen_address=127.0.0.1 to allow TCP connections. We were
already using "pg_regress --config-auth" to set up HBA appropriately. The
standard_initdb helper function now sets up the server's
unix_socket_directories or listen_addresses in the config file, so that
they don't need to be specified in the pg_ctl command line anymore. That
way, the pg_ctl invocations in test programs don't need to differ between
Windows and Unix.
Add another helper function to configure the server's pg_hba.conf to allow
replication connections. The configuration is done similarly to "pg_regress
--config-auth": trust on domain sockets on Unix, and SSPI authentication on
Windows.
Replace calls to "cat" and "touch" programs with built-in perl code, as
those programs don't normally exist on Windows.
Add instructions in the docs on how to install IPC::Run on Windows. Adjust
vcregress.pl to not replace PERL5LIB completely in vcregress.pl, because
otherwise cannot install IPC::Run in a non-standard location easily.

This option specifies a replication slot for WAL streaming (-X stream),
so that there can be continuous replication slot use between WAL
streaming during the base backup and the start of regular streaming
replication.

Create a log file for each test run. Stdout and stderr of the test script,
as well as any subprocesses run as part of the test, are redirected to
the log file. This makes it a lot easier to debug test failures. Also print
the test output (ok 12 - ... messages) to the log file, and the command
line of any external programs executed with the system_or_bail and run_log
functions. This makes it a lot easier to debug failing tests.
Modify some of the pg_ctl and other command invocations to not use 'silent'
or 'quiet' options, and don't redirect output to /dev/null, so that you get
all the information in the log instead.
In the passing, construct some command lines in a way that works if $tempdir
contains quote-characters. I haven't systematically gone through all of
them or tested that, so I don't know if this is enough to make that work.
pg_rewind tests had a custom mechanism for creating a similar log file. Use
the new generic facility instead.

This supplements the GNU libc bug #6530 workarounds introduced in commit
54cd4f0457. On affected systems, a
tar-format pg_basebackup failed when some filename beneath the data
directory was not valid character data in the postmaster/walsender
locale. Back-patch to 9.1, where pg_basebackup was introduced. Extant,
bug-prone conversion specifications receive only ASCII bytes or involve
low-importance messages.
The tar format (at least the version we are using), does not support
file names or symlink targets longer than 99 bytes. Until now, the tar
creation code would silently truncate any names that are too long. (Its
original application was pg_dump, where this never happens.) This
creates problems when running base backups over the replication
protocol.
The most important problem is when a tablespace path is longer than 99
bytes, which will result in a truncated tablespace path being backed up.
Less importantly, the basebackup protocol also promises to back up any
other files it happens to find in the data directory, which would also
lead to file name truncation if someone put a file with a long name in
there.
Now both of these cases result in an error during the backup.
Add tests that fail when a too-long file name or symlink is attempted to
be backed up.

Work around accidental test failures because the working directory path
is too long by creating a temporary directory in the (hopefully shorter)
system location, symlinking that to the working directory, and creating
the tablespaces using the shorter path.
