Andrew Dunstan 72d422a522 Map basebackup tablespaces using a tablespace_map file
Windows can't reliably restore symbolic links from a tar format, so
instead during backup start we create a tablespace_map file, which is
used by the restoring postgres to create the correct links in pg_tblspc.
The backup protocol also now has an option to request this file to be
included in the backup stream, and this is used by pg_basebackup when
operating in tar mode.

This is done on all platforms, not just Windows.

This means that pg_basebackup will not not work in tar mode against 9.4
and older servers, as this protocol option isn't implemented there.
