Tom Lane 12bf118899 Handle close() failures more robustly in pg_dump and pg_basebackup.
Coverity complained that applying get_gz_error after a failed gzclose,
as we did in one place in pg_basebackup, is unsafe.  I think it's
right: it's entirely likely that the call is touching freed memory.
Change that to inspect errno, as we do for other gzclose calls.

Also, be careful to initialize errno to zero immediately before any
gzclose() call where we care about the error status.  (There are
some calls where we don't, because we already failed at some previous
step.)  This ensures that we don't get a misleadingly irrelevant
error code if gzclose() fails in a way that doesn't set errno.
We could work harder at that, but it looks to me like all such cases
are basically can't-happen if we're not misusing zlib, so it's
not worth the extra notational cruft that would be required.

Also, fix several places that simply failed to check for close-time
errors at all, mostly at some remove from the close or gzclose itself;
and one place that did check but didn't bother to report the errno.

Back-patch to v12.  These mistakes are older than that, but between
the frontend logging API changes that happened in v12 and the fact
that frontend code can't rely on %m before that, the patch would need
substantial revision to work in older branches.  It doesn't quite
seem worth the trouble given the lack of related field complaints.

Patch by me; thanks to Michael Paquier for review.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
