Michael Paquier 1d084fba1b Add ./configure check for "lz4" command
Some environments may compile with --with-lz4 while the command "lz4"
goes missing, causing two failures in the TAP tests of pg_verifybackup
(008_untar.pl and 010_client_untar.pl) as the code assumed that the
command always existed with a hardcoded value in src/Makefile.global.
Rather than this method, this adds a ./configure check based on
PGAC_PATH_PROGS() to find automatically the command and get an absolute
path to it.

Both tests need to be adjusted for the case where the command does not
exist, actually, as Makefile.global would set now LZ4 to an empty value
in this case.  The TAP tests of pg_receivewal already do that.

Per report from buildfarm member copperhead, as an effect of dab2984.
The origin of the failure is actually babbbb5 that did not centralize
the check for the existence of a "lz4" command at ./configure to shave a
few cycles.  Note that one just needs to tweak an environment to move
"lz4" out of the way to reproduce the problem, which is what I did to
test this change.

Per discussion with Robert Haas, Tom Lane, Andres Freund and myself.

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
