Robert Haas 2f5c4397c3 When fetching WAL for a basebackup, report errors with a sensible TLI.
The previous code used ThisTimeLineID, which need not even be
initialized here, although it usually was in practice, because
pg_basebackup issues IDENTIFY_SYSTEM before calling BASE_BACKUP,
and that initializes ThisTimeLineID as a side effect. That's not
really good enough, though, not only because we shoudn't be counting
on side effects like that, but also because the TLI could change
meanwhile. Fortunately, we have convenient access to more meaningful
TLI values, so use those instead.

Because of the way this logic is coded, the consequences of using
a possibly-incorrect TLI here are no worse than a slightly confusing
error message, I don't want to take any risk here, so no back-patch
at least for now.

Patch by me, reviewed by Kyotaro Horiguchi and Michael Paquier

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.
